Ulrich Brauchle: Visual – a quiet school of seeing
With the exhibition Visual, Ellwangen artist Ulrich Brauchle presents new works between painting and drawing at the Ostalbkreis District Office. The exhibition leads into an open image space where recognizable figure, landscape, and abstraction meet in concentrated tension.
Line as the starting point of work observation
Ulrich Brauchle's artistic practice is founded in drawing. Pencil drawings, oil paintings, and oil pastel works develop from a sensitive engagement with line, surface, and picture carrier. Figurative and landscape allusions remain visible, while familiar forms simultaneously transform into an independent visual language.
Between Landscape and Abstraction
The exhibition moves between representationality and abstraction. Landscape appears not as a mere reproduction of a place, but as a starting point for color fields, rhythms, and spatial relationships. In painting, color, structure, and surface increasingly assert themselves independently; drawing, on the other hand, preserves the immediate trace of seeing.
Color, Material, and Open Composition
The atmosphere of the exhibition thrives on a calm, concentrated image effect. Visible processing, probing lines, and differentiated color spaces make the creation process comprehensible. Brauchle's works unfold their complexity upon longer contemplation: What initially appears clear and accessible opens up in aesthetic experience to a multifaceted interplay of proximity and distance.
Artistic Context
Ulrich Brauchle studied at the State Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart as well as history, art history, and theology at the University of Tübingen. For his print graphics, he received, among other awards, the Felix-Hollenberg Prize; he was also honored with the Art Prize of the Heidenheim Art Association. As an artist, art educator, and lecturer, he connects his own artistic practice with cultural education and intensive mediation.
An Art Experience for Attentive Eyes
The exhibition invites visitors to carefully follow the transition from motif to form, from landscape to color space, and from line to image. Visitors can expect a quiet, intense encounter with contemporary painting and drawing from the regional art scene.
Conclusion: Visual opens up a demanding aesthetic experience beyond quick certainties. Those who wish to directly experience painting, drawing, and the poetic tension between object and abstraction should visit this exhibition at the Ostalbkreis District Office in Aalen.
