Ulrich Brauchle: Visual – Painting and Drawing in Aalen

With the exhibition Visual, the Ostalbkreis District Office presents new works by the Ellwangen artist Ulrich Brauchle. From October 8th to December 31st, 2026, pencil drawings, oil paintings, and oil pastel works come together in a concentrated presentation that invites careful observation and independent contemplation of the works.

Between Abstraction and Figuration

Ulrich Brauchle's visual world moves between abstraction and figuration. Landscape and figurative allusions stand alongside open pictorial spaces, where lines, surfaces, and color areas create a tension-filled order. The picture carrier appears not as a mere background but as an active component of the composition.

Line, Surface, and Painterly Rhythm

Brauchle's artistic practice is rooted in drawing. In the pencil drawings, the precision of the line unfolds, while oil and oil pastel paintings are characterized by materiality, color impact, and painterly rhythm. His visual language derives its effect from reduction and demands a calm, attentive approach.

Nature Experience and Open Image Concept

Brauchle's works originate in the perception of nature and landscape and lead this experience into an increasingly open, abstract image concept. Color, form, and spatial impact combine to create pictorial structures that do not immediately exhaust themselves. Especially with longer viewing, an aesthetic experience emerges, where seemingly simple forms reveal their complex inner structure.

Art Historical Classification and Cultural Education

The artist, born in 1971 in Ellwangen, studied at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart as well as history, art history, and theology at the University of Tübingen. He received the Felix-Hollenberg-Award for printmaking for his graphic work. As a painter, draftsman, printmaker, art educator, and curator, Brauchle connects artistic expertise with cultural mediation.

Artist Tours at the Ostalbkreis District Office

For in-depth examination of the works, Ulrich Brauchle will offer artist tours on November 19th and December 10th, 2026, each at 5:30 PM. These dates provide a direct access to working processes, pictorial ideas, and the special relationship between line, surface, and color.

Conclusion: Learning to See Through Art

Visual offers a quiet yet demanding approach to contemporary painting and drawing. Visitors can expect an artistic experience about perception, concentration, and the creative power of line, surface, and color. Those who want to experience art in its materiality, spatial impact, and exhibition atmosphere should not miss this exhibition live at the Ostalbkreis District Office.
