Painting with tension, closeness, and clear imagery in the Old Town Hall

With HERZFELD, the Kunstverein Aalen presents an exhibition that makes figurative painting experienceable in all its intensity. The three Leipzig painters Christian Bussenius, Alexander König, and Martin Ziegler set a strong signal for contemporary visual art at the marketplace, oscillating between uncertainty, beauty, and a societal shift in perspective. The exhibition opening is scheduled for Friday, September 18, 2026, at 7:00 PM at the Old Town Hall - Kunstverein; admission is free.

Three artistic styles, one common resonance space

The title HERZFELD is phonetically related to the Härtsfeld near Aalen, anchoring the show regionally and openly. In the presentation, three different painting positions meet: Bussenius with his fragile scenes, König with his nervously created imagery, and Ziegler with works that lie between chronicle, pop art, and societal fracture lines. This creates an exhibition experience that does not need to be loud to resonate. ([aalen.de](https://www.aalen.de/herzfeld-christian-bussenius-alexander-koenig-martin-ziegler.255963.htm))

A place with exhibition tradition in the heart of Aalen

The Kunstverein Aalen has been a staple for visual arts in the city since 1983 and has been working for many years in the spaces of the Old Town Hall at the marketplace. The gallery is located directly in the center, on the first floor above the Café Podium and below the Theater of the City of Aalen. For visitors, this provides a harmonious setting: urban, easily accessible, and close to the cultural heart of the city. Parking is available in the Town Hall underground garage; the City of Aalen also refers to other central parking garages and disabled parking spaces in the city center.

Atmosphere for art fans seeking depth

This exhibition does not rely on effects but on concentration, materiality, and perspective. Those who appreciate the interplay of figure, space, and inner tension will find a strong event experience here. HERZFELD is aimed at art enthusiasts who want to not only observe contemporary painting but feel it in an open dialogue with the location and audience.
