Painting with Impact and Subtlety: HERZFELD at the Old Town Hall Aalen
With HERZFELD, an exhibition opens at the Art Association Aalen that showcases figurative painting in all its tensions: closeness and distance, optimism and uncertainty, beauty and disgust. The title phonetically refers to the Härtsfeld, thus creating a regional as well as thematic resonance space for the three Leipzig painters Christian Bussenius, Alexander König, and Martin Ziegler. Visitors will experience an exhibition that does not come on strong but remains with visual power and attitude.

Three Artistic Positions, One Common Pulse
Christian Bussenius directs attention to the backyards of fringe cultures, to zones of obsession, lostness, and fragile romance. Alexander König develops figures, still lifes, and portraits from a nervous, creaturely image process between rough beauty and organized neglect. Martin Ziegler works at the boundary of chronicling and asynchrony, condensing pop-art echoes into robust, socially aware image worlds. Together, the works create an audience atmosphere that demands careful observation. ([aalen.de](https://www.aalen.de/herzfeld-christian-bussenius-alexander-koenig-martin-ziegler-kopie-.255965.htm))
