HERZFELD in the Old Town Hall: Painting between Closeness, Doubt, and Intensity

With HERZFELD, the Aalen Art Association presents an exhibition that makes figurative painting an experience of a lively, contradictory, and profoundly human space. The works of Christian Bussenius, Alexander König, and Martin Ziegler lead right into images filled with tension, materiality, and intellectual depth.

Three Leipzig Positions, a Shared Resonance Space

The title Herzfeld is phonetically reminiscent of the Härtsfeld at the edge of Aalen and opens up a view of an exhibition in which landscape, perception, and inner images interact. The three artists showcase very different handwriting but remain connected in a common artistic attitude: painting as access to the world, as a search, and as a condensation of experience.

Christian Bussenius: Fragile Scenes with Dark Poetry

Christian Bussenius directs his gaze into the backyards of subcultures. His works unfold scenes between familiarity and dissolution, between role model and uncertainty. This creates an atmosphere that brings the audience close to the cracks of everyday life while also revealing a fragile romanticism.

Alexander König: Image Creation as a Creaturely Act

Alexander König develops figures, still lifes, and portraits with tangible immediacy. His image worlds appear nervous, free, and untamed, yet marked by raw beauty. Those who engage with it experience an exhibition experience where order and neglect, energy and vulnerability meet directly.

Martin Ziegler: Between Chronicle and Pop Art

Martin Ziegler works at the boundary of chronicling and asynchronicity. His painting addresses societal fault lines and condenses them into images with high recognition value. It is precisely this mix of materiality, pop references, and critical undertones that gives the exhibition a strong presence in space.

An Art Association with Experience and Profile

The Aalen Art Association has been established since 1983, organizing exhibitions, art trips, discussions, and mediation formats for decades and is based in the Old Town Hall at the marketplace. The gallery is located on the 1st floor right above Café Podium and under the theater of the city of Aalen. For visitors, the house is thus not only an exhibition venue but also part of a vibrant cultural center in the city center.

Visit, Access, and Exhibition Experience

The exhibition rooms are centrally located in Aalen, with parking available in the town hall underground garage. During opening hours, HERZFELD invites visitors to a relaxed stroll through the art: with a view of images that take their time, and an audience atmosphere that is more concentrated than loud. Anyone searching for contemporary painting with depth will find a strong date in the regional cultural calendar here.

Conclusion: An Appointment for All Who Want to Experience Rather Than Just Look at Painting

HERZFELD combines artistic precision, emotional openness, and a clear exhibition stance. The audience can look forward to intense image worlds, strong positions, and a focused art afternoon in the Old Town Hall. A visit is worthwhile for anyone who wants to experience contemporary painting with substance live.
