Young Positions from Eastern Bavaria: The Sparda Bank Art Prize in the City Gallery

The City Gallery Alte Feuerwache in the Amberg City Museum presents the award winners' exhibition of the Sparda Bank Art Prize Amberg 2025. Painting, graphics, and installation condense into a concentrated art experience that makes contemporary trends in the region visible and places aesthetic experience at the center.

Examination of Art between Color, Form, and Light

In the clearly curated exhibition, the works of Theresa Eberl, Stefan Leitner alias Leiti, and Luis Weiland unfold their spatial effect. Abstract color fields, graphic placements, and media experiments create a field of tension between material, surface, and image space. The examination of the works leads from gesturally charged paintings through precise line structures to installed settings that activate light and perception.

Art Historical Classification and Present

The exhibition connects to discourses of painting after 2000: Expanded painting, media-reflective strategies, and the intertwining of analog and digital image worlds. Against the backdrop of the regional art scene in the Upper Palatinate and Lower Bavaria, the prize marks a springboard – with a clear profile in promoting young positions and mediating contemporary art.

Curating and Exhibition Atmosphere

The City Gallery Alte Feuerwache structures its approximately 170 square meters of exhibition space with precise sightlines. Reduced hanging, rhythmic lighting, and clear distances between works give the pieces room to breathe. This creates a concentrated exhibition atmosphere that invites close observation and reflective dialogues.
