Young Art with Attitude: The award winners of the Sparda-Bank Art Prize in Amberg
The city gallery Alte Feuerwache at the Amberg City Museum presents from April 29 to July 12, 2026, the current winners of the Sparda-Bank Art Prize Amberg: Theresa Eberl, LEITI (Stefan Leitner) and Luis Weiland. The art experience combines painting, graphics, installation, and contemporary visual languages from Eastern Bavaria into a concentrated viewing of artworks.
Atmosphere and Spatial Impact
The exhibition atmosphere thrives on clear placements and the precise curation of the city gallery. In approximately 170 square meters, colors, lines, and materials unfold their sensual presence: matte and glossy surfaces, pastose painting alongside reduced signs, light accents on canvas and objects. The historic barn frames the aesthetic experience with calm sight axes.
Three Artistic Positions
Theresa Eberl, trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Nuremberg, leads painting into a contemporary vocabulary of layering, penetrations, and fine color dynamics. LEITI brings influences from urban art and minimalist gestures; his economic lines and the play of acrylic and spray paint create strong contrasts and direct image energy. Luis Weiland adds a third perspective to the exhibition, expanding the tension field between form, surface, and perception.
Art Historical Context and Curation
The prize has been promoting young art from Eastern Bavaria for years and makes positions between painting, graphics, objects, and new media visible. The group exhibition follows a curatorial path that makes connections between art direction and material tangible: painting meets installation, drawing meets space, process meets presentation. This creates a discursive resonance space for contemporary art.
Education and Communication
The city gallery focuses on cultural education with art discussions and an accessible approach: Entry is free, and opening hours are visitor-friendly. Barrier-free paths in the gallery facilitate concentrated artwork viewing for all generations.
Conclusion
Those who want to experience contemporary art in dialogue will find a focused exhibition here: three handwriting styles, a clear space, strong images. Ideal for an enriching aesthetic experience – definitely visit live.
