Ulrich Brauchle: Visual – Painting and Drawing in Aalen
With the exhibition Visual, the Ostalbkreis District Office presents new painting and drawing by the Ellwangen artist Ulrich Brauchle. From October 8 to December 31, 2026, a concentrated examination of works unfolds in Aalen between objectivity, landscape, and abstraction. Admission is free.
An Exhibition for Close Observation
Ulrich Brauchle's artistic practice is rooted in line and ranges from pencil drawing to oil painting to oil pastel. Figurative motifs and landscape allusions encounter open pictorial spaces in which lines, surfaces, and layers of color develop an independent visual language. The image carrier becomes an active stage for a silent, precisely composed aesthetic experience.
Between Landscape and Abstraction
The works move along the tension-filled edge between recognizability and autonomous pictorial order. Clear contours meet open surfaces, muted color tones meet rhythmic structures. Only with longer contemplation do familiar motifs visibly transform into complex pictorial spaces.
Line, Color, and Musical Rhythm
Brauchle's painting possesses a special spatial effect. Fields of color set visual accents, drawing lends movement to the compositions, and the transitions between form and surface create an almost musical tension. The exhibition atmosphere remains calm, while each work develops its own inner dynamics.
Art Historical Context and Artist Biography
Ulrich Brauchle studied from 1991 to 1996 at the State Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart and subsequently history, art history, and theology in Tübingen. In 2004, he was awarded the Felix Hollenberg Prize for Graphic Design. His works are part of public collections, including those of the city of Aalen, the Kunstmuseum Albstadt, the Graphic Collection of the State Gallery Stuttgart, and the Library of Congress in Washington. As a painter, drawer, graphic artist, art educator, and curator, Brauchle connects artistic practice with cultural education.
Artist Tours at the Ostalbkreis District Office
On Thursday, November 19, and Thursday, December 10, 2026, at 5:30 PM, Ulrich Brauchle will personally guide visitors through the exhibition. Visitors will gain insights into the creation of the works, the significance of line, and the connection between painting, drawing, and landscape.
Visiting Hours and Art Experience
The Ostalbkreis District Office opens the exhibition from Monday to Wednesday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Thursday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and Friday from 8:00 AM to 12:15 PM. The presentation is suitable for individual work contemplation as well as for culture-interested groups and school classes. Those who take their time for a careful look experience contemporary art as a process of perceiving, comparing, and thinking further.
Conclusion: Painting as Open Perception
Visual invites you to an art experience of quiet intensity. Visitors can expect an exhibition where line, color, landscape, and abstraction engage in an open dialogue. The works do not demand a quick response but reward attention with a deepened aesthetic experience. A visit to the Ostalbkreis District Office enriches the cultural stay in Aalen and opens new perspectives on contemporary painting and drawing.
