Color Sound – Sound Color: Two Positions of Painting in Dialogue

In the bright architecture of the Technology and Founder Center Straubing-Sand, the exhibition Color Sound – Sound Color unfolds a concentrated art experience: Works by Max Huber (1920–1987) and Herbert Muckenschnabl (*1947) enter into a sonorous dialogue of color, shape and rhythm. The curatorial arrangement emphasizes work observation, spatial effects, and an aesthetic experience that is both contemplative and stimulating.

Color as a Resonance Space

Upon entering, vibrant color fields, modulated transitions, and structural arrangements shape the exhibition atmosphere. Huber, rooted in Lower Bavaria and active in professional associations such as the Munich Artists' Association, develops a painting from organic forms and constructive structures that oscillates between landscape association and abstraction. Muckenschnabl, a painter and graphic artist from the Bavarian Forest, connects tonalities and light direction in his images into clear, sonorous compositions – painting as a visual score.

Work Analysis and Art Historical Contextualization

The juxtaposition shows two generations of East Bavarian art: Huber's post-war position with structural rigor, regular participation in Haus der Kunst in Munich and major East Bavaria shows, as well as Muckenschnabl's widely spanning exhibition practice from Regensburg to Munich and into the USA. Awards such as the East Bavaria Cultural Promotion Award and the Freyung-Grafenau Cultural Prize position Muckenschnabl as a formative voice of the region. The clear hanging is curatorial convincing: Image groups form tonalities, sight axes create a play of harmony and tension.

Material, Light, Rhythm

Color applications shift between opaque and translucent, edges set the beat; lines, surfaces and intervals bind the space. In the daylight of the hallways, a synesthetic perception emerges – colors seem to sound, sound becomes color. Thus, the exhibition shapes a sensual, yet reflected aesthetics that invites slowed contemplation.

Education and Mediation

The opening hours allow for quiet work contemplation; the TGZ as a public place creates low-threshold access. Information on guided tours will be provided on-site or by the organizer.

Conclusion: Color Sound – Sound Color offers a focused painting experience between structure and mood. Those who want to experience color as a space of thought and feeling will find a poignant exhibition here – ideal to experience the artistic quality of the region in concentrated form live.
