A final evening filled with color, structure, and silent image poetry

With the finissage of Bernd Romankiewitz and Jürgen Pohl, an art experience concludes in the exhibition hall of the New Town Hall, bringing painting, printmaking, and photography into a fine dialogue. The exhibition combines two artistic handwritings that draw from different traditions, yet both aim at concentrated seeing: on material, light, trace, and form.

Color woodcuts that transform nature into abstract tension

Bernd Romankiewitz is known for his woodcut works, in which floral motifs are not represented realistically but transformed into an independent vocabulary of forms. His works emerge from an intense engagement with nature, yet the plants dissolve into color games, surfaces, and rhythmic structures. It is precisely in this tension between recognizability and abstraction that their aesthetic experience lies. Romankiewitz has been working for many years with woodcuts, painting, and book art formats and has been present with numerous exhibitions in the Upper Palatinate and Upper Franconia.

Photographic image spaces with a precise gaze

Jürgen Pohl brings another form of seeing into the exhibition with his photographs: controlled, attentive, focused on perception and composition. On his official artist page, he describes the connection between education, craftsmanship experience, and art theoretical reflection as the foundation of his work. His works aim for an image language that delights viewers and simultaneously prompts reflection. In conjunction with the color woodcuts, a quiet yet multifaceted sense of space emerges.

Curating in the context of the Bayreuth exhibition hall

The exhibition hall in the New Town Hall is a tried-and-true place for contemporary art in Bayreuth. The city points to regular changing exhibitions in this space, which is particularly suitable for works that play with perception, surface, and context. For visitors, this means: a compact, easily accessible exhibition location in the middle of the city where art and public space meet directly.

What makes this finissage special

The finissage is more than a closing point. It condenses once again those moments in which art becomes directly tangible: the materiality of the woodcut, the calm of photography, the concentration of the hanging, and the exhibition atmosphere of a place where different positions sharpen each other. Those interested in art history, printmaking, photographic art, and cultural education will find here an educational yet sensory access.

Conclusion: The finissage of Bernd Romankiewitz and Jürgen Pohl offers a final, worthwhile look at two independent artistic positions in dialogue. Anyone wishing to experience Bayreuth's exhibition culture and enjoy a concentrated art experience should attend this event live.
