Between Strict Construction and Poetic Movement

The exhibition Reinhard Wöllmer – Paper Objects and Steel Sculptures at galerie 13 Freising offers a concentrated look at a multifaceted body of work that balances geometric clarity, material awareness, and playful poetry. On November 4, 2026, visitors will encounter contemporary art that transforms paper and steel into independent spatial image carriers.

An Art of Reduction and Sensual Precision

Reinhard Wöllmer, born in 1957 in Nuremberg, studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts Nuremberg from 1977 to 1984 and graduated as a master student. For many years, he has developed a distinctive language of forms, in which geometric bodies, clear contours, and colorful rhythms unfold a quiet yet tension-filled aesthetic.

His paper objects are created through coloring, shaping, cutting, and spatial arrangement of the material. Layers, folds, embossing, and cut-out sections generate a fragile plasticity. Depending on the incidence of light, transparency, color depth, and shadow effects change. This viewing of the work becomes an aesthetic experience that allows the gaze to repeatedly shift between surface and interior space.

Paper as Space, Color, and Body

Wöllmer's paper works transcend the traditional concept of the flat image. Handmade paper, paper pulp, acrylic paint, and bookbinding techniques combine to create reliefs and object images with their own spatial presence. Circles, ovals, and reduced geometric forms function as concentrated signs. Their apparent simplicity opens a rich space for contemplation about measure, rhythm, light, and perception.

The color possesses a special suggestive power. Stacked papers allow glimpses into hidden layers; contrasting reverse sides react to the direction of light. This creates a dynamic exhibition atmosphere, even though the individual works appear strict and calm in their form.

Steel Sculptures Between Weight and Lightness

The paper objects are contrasted by steel sculptures, whose material heaviness opens up another level of perception. Steel refers to construction, stability, and craftsmanship. However, in Wöllmer's compositions, this weight enters into a dialogue with open forms, voids, and visual lightness. The sculpture is experienced not only as a body in space but also as a drawing of lines, surfaces, and shadows.

Especially in the interplay between paper and steel, the curatorial quality of the presentation becomes evident: Contrasts such as soft and hard, fragile and durable, surface and volume, as well as order and poetic openness engage in a rich exchange of tensions. The exhibition invites slow perception and thus holds great value for cultural education.

An Artist Between Painting, Object Art, and Sculpture

Wöllmer's artistic path led from painting and drawing to an independent object art. A scholarship from the city of Nuremberg in Skopje marked an important phase in his exploration of paper. His works have been exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions and are represented in public collections. Notable awards include the Hollfeld Art Prize and the Art Prize of the Kunstverein Spirale Treuchtlingen.

galerie 13 continues a long-standing connection to Wöllmer's work with this exhibition. In previous years, paper objects, collages, and works from the field of color-space reliefs were displayed there. The current presentation furthers this exhibition history and makes the development of a consistent, material-related art direction comprehensible.

Conclusion: A Focused Art Experience in Freising

Reinhard Wöllmer's paper objects and steel sculptures connect artisanal precision with poetic openness. Visitors can expect a sensual exploration of works focused on color, light, material, and space – an art experience between painting, installation, and sculpture. Anyone wanting to experience contemporary object art in its quiet, precise, and yet surprising impact should definitely visit the exhibition at galerie 13 live.
