The Galerie Papierwelten, located on the upper floor of the Steyrermühl Paper Museum, is currently presenting the exhibition “schneiden, walzen, formen” (cut, role, form) with works by Silvia Schreiber and Reinhard Wöllmer. The exhibition was curated by the Ulrike Hrobsky Gallery in Vienna.
Reinhard Wöllmer’s works predominantly include circular paper objects created with dyed paper-mâché. The objects consist of hollow parts in which the artist had cut holes. Mounted on the wall, they appear heavy but by touching their coarse surface, the lightness of paper becomes perceptible. The interplay of colour, light and space let the objects look as if they were illuminated and the corresponding light and shadow seems to transform them.
Silvia Schreiber’s paper works are also characterized by their lightness. Entering the room with her works feels as if one was part of a gigantic mobile. The larger than life predominantly human, figures move gently as they hang from the ceiling. Every draught of air sets the paper sculptures in motion.
