Thomas Helbig at the Gallery Working Group 68: CREATION as a condensed art experience

On International Museum Day 2026, the Gallery Working Group 68 in Wasserburg am Inn opens a view of the multifaceted work of Thomas Helbig. Under the title CREATION, the artist from Rosenheim presents paintings, objects, and collages from the last three years – a concentrated preview of an exhibition that brings together painting, assemblage, and material experimentation in a dense exhibition atmosphere.

Between painting, object and collage

Thomas Helbig is one of the distinctive voices of contemporary art. His work moves between painting, sculpture, drawing, and photographic reproduction forms. Historically, his practice can be viewed as an independent engagement with modernity: fragmentation, layers of interpretation, and the poetic transformation of found materials shape the pictorial space. The tension between destruction and metamorphosis gives his works a unique aesthetic experience.

An imagery with cultural depth

Helbig’s works are not quick surfaces. They unfold in slow seeing, in the viewing of the works, in the interplay of color, form, fragment, and spatial densification. According to art historical categorizations, his work associates with the history of modernity, simultaneously deconstructing it. This creates a pictorial potency that directly addresses art lovers and also intellectually challenges them.

The venue: Gallery Working Group 68 in the Old Police Station

The exhibition takes place in the Old Police Station at Kaspar-Aiblinger-Platz 5, a place with a special spatial effect. The Working Group 68 has been a forum for contemporary art since 1968; the spaces of the Old Police Station include eleven exhibition rooms as well as a corridor, including two former jail cells in their original condition. This architectural situation enhances the perception of the works and makes the visit an intense art experience.

Why a visit is worthwhile

CREATION promises not an incidental show but a precisely curated insight into the artistic development of Thomas Helbig. Those interested in current painting, collage, object art, and cultural education through exhibition will find an inspiring encounter with art that not only presents images but also questions them. The exhibition invites visitors to experience originals in space and to grasp the tension between material, memory, and form directly on-site.

Conclusion: Thomas Helbig at the Gallery Working Group 68 is an exhibition for anyone who wants to experience contemporary art with an analytical eye and sensual openness. A visit on Museum Day is particularly worthwhile because here, the power of originals, the special spatial effect of the Old Police Station, and Helbig’s multifaceted imagery come together in an impressive way.
