Franz Gallus Weber came to Augsburg as a piece caster to produce cannons, rifles, sabres and small metal parts for the Bavarian military. Due to family misfortunes, he tried to distract himself and - as the son of a sculptor - took up drawing and watercolour painting. His small works of art depict Swabia in a way that we can no longer experience in detail due to the changing times.

The artist Braebys - whose real name was Daniel Schäfer and who died in January 2025 - could not be pigeonholed. He falls out of all categories, social, personal and painterly. Braeby's pictorial worlds are enigmatic, frightening, enigmatic, but also sometimes underlaid with humor.

The blacksmith Erich Nüchter (1903-1989) discovered his artistic streak at an early age. His particular fondness for caricature and his constant practice of blacksmithing meant that he was able to transform the material iron into a fine artistic form with great skill and precision.

In her interdisciplinary approach, Gülbin Ünlü combines the media of painting, photography, video, performance and music. The principle of the mash-up is evident both in the diversity of media and in the numerous references and fragments with which she questions the present. Her experimental artistic practice, collective work and the use of artificial intelligence (AI) characterise her installative and performative works.4
