Ulrich Brauchle: Visual – an exhibition between line, landscape, and abstraction
With the exhibition Visual, Ellwangen artist Ulrich Brauchle is presenting new painting and drawing at the Ostalbkreis District Office in Aalen. From October 8 to December 31, 2026, the presentation invites a concentrated viewing of works where figurative motifs, landscape suggestions, and free abstraction meet.
When lines begin to speak
Ulrich Brauchle's visual language arises from the dialogue of line, surface, and color. Pencil drawings, oil paintings, and oil pastel works lead into a pictorial space that appears both familiar and open. Contours condense into landscapes, surfaces develop rhythmic tension, and the visible trace of the artistic process remains present.
Between objectivity and abstraction
The exhibition title refers to an art that unfolds its effect through careful observation. Figurative elements stand alongside landscape-oriented themes, while the support is worked in a precise play with composition, materials, and form. The works appear immediately accessible at first glance and reveal complex layers of perception upon prolonged viewing.
Painting as an aesthetic experience
In the exhibition atmosphere, calmness, formal concentration, and sensual color effects combine to create an independent art experience. Oil paint, oil pastels, and graphic lines generate different surfaces and spatial effects. The interplay of density and openness transforms the viewing of works into an aesthetic experience that combines cultural education with personal perception.
Art historical classification and artist biography
Ulrich Brauchle was born in 1971 in Ellwangen and studied at the State Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart from 1991 to 1996. He then pursued studies in history, art history, and theology at the University of Tübingen. His artistic work encompasses painting, drawing, and print graphics. Nature and landscapes serve as recurring starting points that Brauchle translates into open, rhythmically structured pictorial spaces.
Brauchle also works as an art educator, curator, and lecturer. Since 2015, he has been a member of the Baden-Württemberg Artists' Association. For his print graphic work, he has received, among other awards, the Felix Hollenberg Prize. His works are held in public and private collections, including the Graphic Collection of the State Gallery Stuttgart, the Library of Congress in Washington, and the Bodleian Library in Oxford.
Opening and artist tours
The exhibition will be opened on Thursday, October 8, 2026, at 7:00 PM. District Administrator Dr. Joachim Bläse will open the presentation, after which Ulrich Brauchle will introduce his works. The musical accompaniment will be provided by Ulrich Brauchle and Norbert Botschek. Artist tours with Ulrich Brauchle will take place on November 19 and December 10, 2026, each at 5:30 PM.
Conclusion: Art that invites conscious seeing
Visual opens a multifaceted approach to contemporary painting and drawing. Visitors can expect an exhibition where landscape, figure, abstraction, and drawing movement connect to form a quiet, compelling visual language. Those seeking aesthetic experience, cultural education, and immediate viewing of works should not miss this artistic experience in Aalen.
