Zwiefacher in Freising: When web art and painting meet

The summer exhibition “Maja Vogl Richard Vogl – Zwiefacher” at galerie 13 Freising combines color-intensive woven works with painting to create an artistic experience that engages craft, material, and spatial effects in a subtle dialogue. Works by the artist couple Maja and Richard Vogl will be displayed; the exhibition runs from June 23 to August 1, 2026, and is free of charge according to the cultural program of the City of Freising.

Colors, threads, and painterly tensions

Maja Vogl represents textile art at the intersection of weaving and painting. Her works thrive on primary colors, luminous contrasts, and a sensitive drawing that continually reorganizes within the fabric. The artist, born in 1956 in Kempten, trained in hand weaving, studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich, and later received, among others, the Bavarian State Prize and the Danner Honorary Award.

Those viewing her works experience not just a surface, but an aesthetic experience of density and lightness. Silk, thread, and color unfold a quiet intensity; the eye follows the nuances while the craftsmanship shines through in detail. This connection of precision and experiment shapes Vogl's distinctive visual language. ([majavogl.de](https://majavogl.de/vita-ausstellungen-texte/))

Richard Vogl: Painting between natural observation and concentration

Richard Vogl, born in 1952 in Furth im Wald, studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich with Heinz Butz and Rudi Tröger and became a full member of the Bavarian Academy of Fine Arts in 2004. His exhibitions show a continuous engagement with painting, drawing, oil pastel, and printmaking; the overview of his works on his official site confirms a long exhibition practice in Bavaria and beyond.

In the combination with Maja Vogl’s woven works, a productive tension arises that justifies the title of the exhibition: two artistic temperaments, two material languages, a common resonance space. Particularly in the transition between textile image and painted surface, the special curation of this exhibition unfolds.
