A final evening for color woodcut and photography at the New Town Hall
The finissage of the exhibition by Bernd Romankiewitz and Jürgen Pohl invites you to the exhibition hall of the New Town Hall Bayreuth on July 8, 2026. On display are color woodcuts and photographs that bring nature observation, form condensation, and precise imagery into a concentrated dialogue. Admission is free.

Between woodcut, light, and structure
Bernd Romankiewitz extracts floral motifs from their concrete appearance and transforms them into abstract color games. The art critique of BBK Upper Franconia describes this work as a movement from plant to surface, from visible nature to condensed form. Unusual tools such as axe and chainsaw also shape his woodcuts and give them a powerful, craft-intensive presence. ([bbk-oberfranken.de](https://bbk-oberfranken.de/mitglieder/romankiewitz.html))
Photographs with quiet intensity
Jürgen Pohl understands his artistic work as a search for what should become visible in the image and encourages the viewer to think further. His self-description emphasizes technical diligence, artistic thinking, and the joy of image viewing. Such photographs unfold their unique effect especially in an exhibition hall because space, light, and work observation interact directly here. ([juergenpohl.info](https://www.juergenpohl.info/))
The location: Exhibition hall at the New Town Hall
The exhibition hall at the New Town Hall is located at Luitpoldplatz 13 in 95444 Bayreuth. The city of Bayreuth specifies regular opening hours for its town hall exhibitions; previous presentations were visible from Monday to Thursday from 9 AM to 5 PM and Friday from 9 AM to 2:30 PM. For the finissage itself, the atmosphere of an urban art location in the city center is decisive. ([bayreuth.de](https://www.bayreuth.de/licht-und-farben-im-rathaus/))
Why the visit is worthwhile
This finissage combines printmaking, photography, and contemporary perception into a compact art experience. Anyone interested in exhibitions, art history, materiality, and cultural education will experience an evening that sharpens observation and intensifies aesthetic experience. A visit is particularly worthwhile now, as the works can be seen in their full concentration one last time. ([bbk-oberfranken.de](https://bbk-oberfranken.de/mitglieder/romankiewitz.html))
At the end, visitors can expect a quiet, demanding finissage with clear imagery, strong material presence, and an impressive dialogue between two artistic positions. Anyone wanting to experience Bayreuth's art scene up close should not miss this date. ([bbk-oberfranken.de](https://bbk-oberfranken.de/mitglieder/romankiewitz.html))
