Steel becomes light: BACK TO THE ROOTS with Manuela Tirler in Aalen

On Tuesday, May 12, 2026, the Aalen Art Association will open the exhibition 'BACK TO THE ROOTS' by sculptor Manuela Tirler. The vernissage begins at 7:00 PM. The artist shows sculptures, wall objects, and three-dimensional spatial drawings made of steel, which make nature motifs perceivable with surprising lightness. Visitors can expect a concentrated event experience in the historic ambiance of the Old Town Hall in the marketplace.

Organic forms, cool steel – a special event atmosphere

Delicately curved rebar, rust-colored patina, visibly retained welds: Tirler deliberately uses the properties of the material for a strong audience mood. The works unfold an openness in space that contrasts with the physical heaviness of steel – an intense event experience for lovers of contemporary sculpture.

Artistic signature with awards

The artist, born in Stuttgart and living in Plochingen, studied free sculpture at the State Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart, exhibited in a one-artist show at Art Karlsruhe, and has received multiple awards. Her works combine precise craftsmanship with natural lines – a profile that the trade press and institutions repeatedly highlight.

Well organized: Orientation, opening hours, target group communication

The Aalen Art Association relies on clear organization and visitor guidance. The gallery is centrally located at Marktplatz 4. Fixed opening hours apply during the exhibition period, and on Thursdays, entry is free as part of 'Day of Art.' This allows for target group communication from art enthusiasts to the curious seeking a high-quality event experience.

Conclusion

'BACK TO THE ROOTS' offers sensual impressions between nature association and material strength. Those who want to experience the tension of line, light, and space should not miss the vernissage on May 12 at 7:00 PM and visit the exhibition until July 5, 2026.
