Karl Ulrich Nuss in Wasseralfingen: Bronze, Form and Movement as a Lively Art Experience
The museum gallery in the Bürgerhaus Wasseralfingen dedicates an exhibition to Karl Ulrich Nuss that sharpens the view of figurative sculpture. Under the title THE SCULPTOR, a work examination unfolds on form, body, gesture, and spatial effect - supported by the long tradition of an artist who has continuously explored bronze over decades.
A sculptor who thinks form from the inside out
Karl Ulrich Nuss, born in Stuttgart in 1943, studied at the art colleges in Schwäbisch Gmünd, Nuremberg, and Berlin, has been working freelance in Strümpfelbach since 1970, and was appointed honorary professor of the State of Baden-Württemberg in 2004. His work ranges from large sculptures and fountains to sacred works as well as free sculptures and masks. Decisive is the tension between representationality and formal condensation: figures, pairs, and groups do not appear as mere narratives, but as plastic thinking in bronze and plaster.

Bronze as a Language of Posture, Movement, and Expression
The exhibition in Wasseralfingen makes it understandable why Nuss is considered one of the defining representatives of figurative sculpture in Southern Germany. His sculptures confront people not academically, but directly: in movement, in relationship, in quiet concentration. Especially the multitude of his bronzes points to a consistent engagement with the body in space, with weight, balance, and rhythm. The result is an art experience that creates intimacy while simultaneously renewing the classical language of sculpture.
