About this artwork
Hand-painted on canvas. Unique piece, signed on the back. Comes with a certificate of authenticity.
The surface is entirely animated by a network of shapes drawn with dark outlines, almost calligraphic. The figures respond to one another, brush against each other, intertwine, creating a continuous rhythm that runs through the composition without a true fixed center. The eye moves freely, passing from one detail to another.
The visual impact is… immediate: the work captures attention with its density and graphic energy. A unique, expressive, and instantly recognizable piece, it commands attention with its rhythm and vitality.

Ralf Altrieth
France
Ralf Altrieth (born in 1966 in Heilbronn) is a German painter and musician who has been living in France since 2006. For more than thirty years, he has expressed himself through a diverse artistic practice, which includes painting, drawing, linocut and photography, as well as contemporary music.
Having been attracted to the visual arts from a very early age, he took private lessons with the painter Georg Schaible at the age of 14, before joining the Academy of Fine Arts in Nürtingen in 1987. In parallel, he played the saxophone and jazz from the age of 20.
He is also a co-founder of the music label meta records and has collaborated with many musicians, often incorporating music as a source of inspiration in his visual art.
His work is frequently described as living at the intersection of gestural expression, neo-expressionism, and lyrical abstraction, where line and color are like writing that explores movement and intuitive storytelling.
