Young Art with Attitude: The Award Winners of the Sparda-Bank Art Prize in Amberg
In the city gallery OLD FIRE STATION, a concentrated art experience unfolds from spring 2026: The award winners of the Sparda-Bank Art Prize Amberg 2025 – Theresa Eberl, LEITI (Stefan Leitner) and Luis Weiland – present painting, graphics, installation, as well as metal and glass art. The exhibition honors exceptional talents from East Bavaria and makes their aesthetic experience accessible to a broad audience.
Work Observation: Color, Line, Material
In the paintings and objects, vibrant color tones meet clearly defined lines and tactile surfaces. Changing light zones in the gallery modulate the spatial effect, allowing pigment layers to breathe and contours to emerge sharply. Metal and glass reflect the surroundings, creating a vivid dialogue between the work and the viewer.
Art Historical Classification and Curation
The exhibition situates the positions within contemporary art in East Bavaria and relates them to current discourses on figure, abstraction, and material aesthetics. The curatorial arrangement accentuates transitions between analog painting, graphic elements, and object-like setups. This creates a precise dramaturgy of space that encourages concentrated observation of artworks while allowing for fluid connections.
Educational Offers and Mediation
The Amberg City Museum accompanies the exhibition with guided tours and art discussions. Low-threshold mediation invites participants to decipher the visual language, compositional logic, and material decisions of the artists – a gain for cultural education and aesthetic judgment.
Regionally Rooted – Internationally Networking
The Sparda-Bank Art Prize Amberg (endowed with 6,000 euros) has been strengthening the visibility of young talents in the region for years. The awarded positions demonstrate how independent, contemporary visual languages can emerge from regional anchorage, which convince in a broader art context.
Conclusion
Those who want to experience contemporary art closely and cleverly curated will find a dense exhibition atmosphere here: clear spaces, strong works, precise mediation – and all with free admission. Visit the city gallery OLD FIRE STATION and discover the artistic energy of East Bavaria live.
