Between Paper and Steel: Reinhard Wöllmer's Poetic Material Art in Freising

The galerie 13 presents an exhibition by Reinhard Wöllmer, where paper, steel, surface, and space come together in a precise, sensual language of form. The art experience oscillates between strict construction and playful poetry, inviting concentrated viewing of the works.

Paper Becomes a Sculptural Body

At the center are paper objects made from colored papier-mâché. Reinhard Wöllmer treats the material not as a fragile image carrier but as an independent sculptural body. Paper rolled into discs is transformed with a hammer into convex-concave shapes. Especially the circular motif characterizes his structural abstraction and gives the works a presence that is both geometric and organic.

Strict Construction and Playful Poetry

The steel sculptures counter the light, plastically moving paper with a clear, spatial materiality. In the exhibition atmosphere of galerie 13, a tension-filled dialogue emerges between weight and lightness, surface and depth, line and volume. Light and shadow change the perception of the works, making each viewing an aesthetic experience.

Art Historical Classification and Artist Biography

Reinhard Wöllmer, born in 1957 in Nuremberg, studied painting from 1977 to 1984 at the Academy of Fine Arts Nuremberg under Clemens Fischer and graduated as a master student. His artistic practice combines artisanal material knowledge with principles of geometric abstraction, object art, and sculptural color relief art. A scholarship from the City of Nuremberg in Skopje, as well as the Hollfeld Art Prize and the Art Prize of the Kunstverein Spirale Treuchtlingen mark important stations in his artistic journey.

Curating as an Invitation to Slow Perception

The presentation emphasizes concentration over overwhelming experience. Visitors can understand how a distinct visual language emerges from papier-mâché, steel, color, and form. The exhibition offers cultural education directly at the work: material processes, geometric form-finding, and sculptural spatial effects become understandable and sensually experienceable through direct encounter.

Visit and Opening Hours

The exhibition can be seen from September 22 to November 7, 2026, at galerie 13. It is open on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 2:00 to 6:30 PM, Thursdays from 2:00 to 8:30 PM, and Saturdays from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Visits are also possible by appointment. Admission is free.

Conclusion: A Quietly Intense Art Experience

Reinhard Wöllmer's paper objects and steel sculptures demonstrate how an intense aesthetic experience arises from material, craftsmanship, and geometric reduction. Art enthusiasts can expect a precisely curated exhibition with sensual materiality, art historical relevance, and great spatial presence. Those who want to experience contemporary sculpture, object art, and poetic material aesthetics directly should definitely visit this exhibition live at galerie 13.
