Three young positions, a strong appearance: Prize winners of the Sparda-Bank Art Prize 2025 in Amberg
The Stadtgalerie ALTE FEUERWACHE in the Museum of the City of Amberg presents from April 29 to July 12, 2026, the exhibition of the prize winners of the Sparda-Bank Art Prize Amberg 2025: Theresa Eberl, LEITI (Stefan Leitner), and Luis Weiland. Admission is free – ideal conditions for an intense art experience and a multifaceted examination of the works.
Exhibition atmosphere: Light, space, material
The clear architecture of the Stadtgalerie focuses attention on colors, lines, and surfaces. In this concentrated setting, painting, drawing, and installation unfold their spatial impact: matte and glossy layers, fine line works, pastose accents, collage traces. The interplay of natural and directed light emphasizes edges, relief-like structures, and color concentrations – an aesthetic experience that makes the breath of contemporary art palpable.
Theresa Eberl: Painting from the School of the Present
Trained at the Academy of Fine Arts Nuremberg (including classes by Kerstin Brätsch and Susanne Kühn), Theresa Eberl explores the possibilities of contemporary painting. Her image fields oscillate between gesture and form, between color harmony and pauses – a precisely set image economy that connects intuition with a reflected curation of her own means.
LEITI (Stefan Leitner): Decollage, street art impulses, light traces
LEITI combines painting, drawing, and sprayed elements into dense image skins. Multi-layered collage techniques, paper, spray paint, and glue create traces of time, as if we were reading the sediments of urban visual worlds. Minimalist compositions encounter pop contrasts – an energetic visual language that mediates between studio and urban space.
Luis Weiland: Young present, fresh play of forms
In dialogue with Eberl and LEITI, Weiland presents a young, East Bavarian position of contemporary art. Reduction and experiment, drawing and surface resonate; thematic fragments are condensed into poetic structures. A quiet, concentrated tension arises that invites precise examination of the works.
Art historical context: East Bavarian present
The exhibition connects to the program of the Stadtgalerie ALTE FEUERWACHE: to make contemporary art from East Bavaria visible – from painting to graphics, plastic art, objects, and installation. Particularly in the interplay of three handwriting styles, it becomes apparent how diverse today's image strategies deal with media history, street culture, and studio discipline.
Education and visitor experience
The Stadtgalerie is accessible via the main entrance of the City Museum. During regular opening hours, the house allows for quiet, focused encounters with the works; conversations with the supervisory team and accompanying information deepen the art experience. Parking tips and travel information facilitate a relaxed visit.
