Ralf Altrieth - It's OK! - XXL

At first glance, this painting seems to tell a little world of its own: fantastical characters, plants, stains and signs mingle in a free, whimsical composition with an expressiveness that is almost instantly endearing. Ralf Altrieth draws and paints here with great spontaneity. The shapes are deliberately simple, the outlines direct, the colors bold, as if the figures had been discovered rather than invented. Behind this apparent simplicity lies, however, a true sense of rhythm: the figures respond to each other, overlap, or seem to float around one another. The imaginary characters, the colorful stains and the landscape give the whole a poetic, almost dreamlike dimension. There is something joyful and slightly offbeat in the composition, which leaves the viewer a great freedom of interpretation. The work thus radiates a particularly warm presence. It attracts with its colors and immediately recognizable figures, then holds the gaze with its inventiveness and its small details. In a contemporary interior, it brings a free, playful, and poetic artistic note, while never losing the singular gesture of Ralf Altrieth.

From the crucible of improvisation, he brings forth a pristine world of spontaneous joys and strong impulses." — Dr Friedhelm Häring, art historian and museum director "His writing through gesture and color describes a world open to new voices and to experiences never attempted. His canvases and works on paper demonstrate that painting remains a major expression of the contemporary scene." — Laurent Puech, art historian and curator MARGES: The indicated dimensions correspond to the work when mounted on a frame.
