Ulrich Brauchle: Visual – an artistic experience between line, area, and reality

On October 8, 2026, the exhibition Visual by the Ellwangen artist Ulrich Brauchle will open at the Ostalbkreis District Office in Aalen. The presentation connects new painting and drawing in a concentrated exploration of works between abstraction and representation. For the opening at 7 PM, Brauchle will personally introduce his works; District Administrator Dr. Joachim Bläse will inaugurate the exhibition, and Ulrich Brauchle and Norbert Botschek will provide musical accompaniment.

Between Pencil, Oil, and Oil Pastel

The exhibition gathers pencil drawings, oil paintings, and oil pastel works. Figurative motifs encounter landscape echoes, while lines, areas, and color layers structure the picture space. Brauchle's works appear clear and accessible at first glance; however, upon closer observation, they unfold a multifaceted visual language.

A Visual Language of Concentrated Seeing

Visual describes an artistic attitude that sees exact observation as a prerequisite for aesthetic experience. The image carrier is shaped and worked on, lines become independent carriers of expression, and areas gain rhythmic tension. Thus, a quiet, yet complex interplay of materiality, composition, representation, and abstraction arises.

Art Historical Context and Artist Biography

Ulrich Brauchle, born in 1971, studied at the State Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart and then history at the University of Tübingen. His work encompasses painting, drawing, and printmaking. Nature and landscape are recurring starting points that the artist transforms into open, rhythmically structured picture spaces. For his printmaking work, Brauchle received the Felix-Hollenberg Prize.
