Prize Winners Exhibition of the Sparda-Bank Art Prize at Stadtgalerie Amberg

Power fields of young art: The prize winners' exhibition in Amberg

The Stadtgalerie ALTE FEUERWACHE in the Amberg City Museum will showcase the works of the winners of the Sparda-Bank Art Prize Amberg 2025 from April 29 to July 12, 2026: Theresa Eberl, LEITI (Stefan Leitner), and Luis Weiland. Admission is free – an ideal occasion for an intensive art experience in the heart of the Upper Palatinate.

Invitation to experience works and aesthetic experience

In a calm exhibition atmosphere, painting, graphics, and installations unfold their spatial effects. Color tones, precise lines, and material contrasts open the view for contemporary positions from East Bavaria. The curation emphasizes dialogues between image surfaces, objects, and light direction – creating a concentrated aesthetic experience that sharpens the sense of sight.

Theresa Eberl: Painting between analog gesture and digital echo

Eberl's painting links analog image creation with phenomena of screen culture. Abstracted motifs, overlays, and glitches form a distinctive vocabulary of shapes. Studies at the Academy of Fine Arts Nuremberg and her appointment as a master student shape her precise vocabulary of color, surface, and rhythm.

LEITI (Stefan Leitner): Minimalism, neon, and urban energy

LEITI works with acrylic, spray paints, and neon light. Drawing from a close relationship with street art, he develops reduced compositions that intensify the physicality of lines and the interplay of shadow and vivid colors. His installations connect urban image culture with clear form – an energetic, yet controlled visual dramaturgy.

Luis Weiland: Young position in the tension between material and motif

Weiland represents a new generation that experimentally interrogates materials and retracts image content to let structures speak. In interplay with Eberl and LEITI, a multifaceted panorama of contemporary artistic practice emerges.

Education, context, curation

As part of the Amberg City Museum, the Stadtgalerie conveys contemporary art with a clear museum framework. Opening hours align with the museum; access is through the museum entrance. Educational offerings, art talks, and program highlights of the year accompany the exhibition and anchor it culturally in the region.

Conclusion

Anyone wanting to experience color, form, and light in concentrated work contemplation will find an exemplary display of current art from East Bavaria here. Free admission, clear curation, strong positions – definitely visit live and sharpen your perception.
