Ulrich Brauchle: Clear – Painting and Drawing in Aalen
At the District Office of Ostalbkreis, Ulrich Brauchle presents the exhibition Clear – Painting and Drawing. The art experience leads into a visual world where line, color, and landscape appear as independent means of expression. From October 8 to December 31, 2026, visitors can experience the works of the Ellwangen painter, draftsman, and printmaker in a public institution of the Ostalbkreis.
Between Line, Surface, and Landscape
Brauchle's artistic practice is rooted in drawing. His drawings develop figurative and landscape hints from the line, while the painting creates a more open pictorial space in which color, structure, and surface interact in tension. The examination of the works opens up an aesthetic experience between objectivity and abstraction.
A Position Between Painting and Graphics
Ulrich Brauchle studied from 1991 to 1996 at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart and subsequently engaged with history, art history, and theology at the University of Tübingen. His versatile work includes painting, drawing, and printmaking. In 2003, he received the Felix Hollenberg Prize for his etching work. He has also been active for many years as an art educator, lecturer, and curator.
Art Historical Context and Cultural Education
The exhibition makes it comprehensible how Brauchle develops independent pictorial spaces from observation, memory, and pictorial construction. Landscape appears not only as a motif but also as a space for thought and perception. The connection between painting and drawing directs attention to the creation process of an image: to traces, condensations, transitions, and consciously set emptiness.
Guided Tours with the Artist
A special deepening of the exhibition is provided by the artist-led tours with Ulrich Brauchle on Thursday, November 19, 2026, and Thursday, December 10, 2026, each at 5:30 PM. Here, immediate work examination is combined with insights into working methods, themes, and artistic decisions.
Opening Hours and Exhibition Experience
The District Office of Ostalbkreis is open from Monday to Wednesday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Thursdays from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and Fridays from 8:00 AM to 12:15 PM. The exhibition is free of charge. The exhibition atmosphere in the administrative building offers a low-threshold encounter with contemporary art and invites visitors to interrupt their daily routine for focused work examination.
Conclusion: Experience Painting and Drawing Directly
Clear – Painting and Drawing brings together an artistic position that puts nature, landscape, line, and color into an open dialogue. Art enthusiasts can expect a concentrated art experience with art historical depth and sensual presence. The free visit to the District Office of Ostalbkreis is particularly worthwhile for anyone wishing to experience the aesthetic experience of painting and drawing directly.
