Travels in Color and Form: A Summer Art Experience at Rochlhaus Thaining
At Rochlhaus Thaining, two independent artistic signatures meet this June: the sculptures of Marianne Schweigler and the paintings and drawings of Hellmut Eckstein. The exhibition opens a space for contemplation of the works, where color, form, and material combine into an intense aesthetic experience.
Between Sculpture and Painting
Marianne Schweigler's sculptures bring body, movement, and relationship into a clear, immediate form. Her works are created from clay, wood, color, and other materials, focusing the gaze on human encounters, presence, and tension in space. Hellmut Eckstein, on the other hand, developed a visual language between figurative observation and increasing abstraction. His watercolors, oil, and acrylic works depict coastal landscapes, harbor scenes, city views, and motifs from Ammersee, the Alps, and Italy.
A Dialogue of Materials
It is in the interplay of both positions that the exhibition unfolds its special power. The sculpture places the body in space, while the painting opens up horizons, light zones, and color spaces. Rochlhaus, as a historical site with a village character, enhances this effect: wood, old architecture, and exhibition situations with calm presence allow the works to appear concentrated yet lively.
Art Historical Perspective
Hellmut Eckstein, born in 1929 in Brandenburg an der Havel, initially worked as a graphic artist and later dedicated himself entirely to free painting. His works combine precise observation with an increasing openness of form. Marianne Schweigler, born in 1949 in Grindelwald, has lived in Bavaria since 1979 and has been working as a freelance artist since 1989. Her exhibitions in Germany and abroad, as well as her awards in Garatshausen at Lake Starnberg, attest to her constant artistic presence.
Vernissage and Visiting Hours
The vernissage will take place on Friday, June 19, 2026, at 7 p.m. The exhibition is open on June 20, 21, 27, and 28, 2026, each Saturday and Sunday from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. This provides an ideal setting for a focused exhibition visit at Ammersee.
Conclusion
This exhibition promises not only a glimpse into two remarkable artistic positions but also a quiet, intense art experience in the special atmosphere of Rochlhaus. Those who want to experience art as a dialogue of space, material, and memory should definitely visit Travels in Color and Form live.
