When Paper Gains Space and Steel Becomes Poetic

The exhibition Reinhard Wöllmer – Paper Objects and Steel Sculptures at galerie 13 Freising offers a view into a multifaceted artistic oeuvre between strict construction, structural abstraction, and playful poetry. On November 3, 2026, the art experience can be directly experienced on-site during regular opening hours.

Paper as a Sculptural Body

Reinhard Wöllmer contradicts the notion of paper as a fragile medium. His paper objects are made from colored papier-mâché, which the artist rolls out into discs and then primarily works with a hammer. Through this sculptural process, convex-concave forms with precise contours, sensual surfaces, and surprising spatial presence develop.

Circular Shape, Surface, and Structural Abstraction

The circle motif holds a central position in Wöllmer's work. Curves, discs, and bulges connect geometric clarity with an almost organic effect. The works move within the realm of constructive art and geometric abstraction. Their tension arises from oppositions: order meets movement, lightness faces weight, surface becomes space.

Steel as a Spatial Counterforce

Opposite the paper objects are steel sculptures with constructive presence. The metal lends the exhibition atmosphere a clear, architectural tension, while paper stands for transformation, colorfulness, and tactile finesse. In examining the works, material processes, light, shadow, contour, and spatial effects become tangible step by step.

Artistic Biography and Art Historical Classification

Reinhard Wöllmer was born in 1957 in Nuremberg and studied from 1977 to 1984 at the Academy of Fine Arts Nuremberg under Clemens Fischer, of whom he was a master student. His milestones include a study abroad scholarship from the city of Nuremberg in Skopje, a paper symposium in Naumburg, and awards such as the art prize from the Kunstverein Spirale in Treuchtlingen. His works have been exhibited in galleries, art associations, and public collections, among others.

Exhibition Atmosphere and Aesthetic Experience

The encounter of paper and steel makes the exhibition a concentrated aesthetic experience. Delicate color surfaces, sharp edges, curved forms, and metallic lines enter into a silent dialogue. The art experience arises from proximity to the material: every surface, every shadow line, and every contour refers to the craftsmanship behind the apparent formal calm.

The exhibition welcomes visitors with contemporary sculpture, object art, and poetic material aesthetics. Those who wish to experience how paper becomes a sculptural body and steel a language-like form should definitely view the works live at galerie 13.
