When Painting and Sculpture Start a Conversation
At the Altomünster Museum, starting from September 27, 2026, the works of Polish sculptor Remigiusz Dulko from Oświęcim/Auschwitz and Aichach painter and writer Fabian Oppolzer meet. The exhibition Painting & Sculpture in Dialogue connects two different artistic languages into an intense art experience about form, material, memory, and cultural encounter.
A Dialogue Between Surface, Body, and Space
The exhibition title describes the curatorial principle: painting and sculpture do not stand isolated next to each other, but react to one another. Color fields, lines, and compositions engage with the spatial presence of bronze, volume, and surface. In viewing the works, an aesthetic experience emerges that sharpens the perception of proportion, materiality, and movement.
The exhibition atmosphere thrives on concentrated contrasts. Where painting opens inner spaces and works with color tones, sculpture sets physical accents. The works invite visitors to experience perception as an active process and to gain new perspectives on contemporary art.
Remigiusz Dulko: Bronze as a Condensed Presence
Remigiusz Dulko, born in 1955 in Lidzbark Warmiński, studied sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow. Since the beginning of his artistic career, he has primarily worked with bronze. His sculptures combine craftsmanship precision with a strong plastic effect; themes from erotic, sacred, monumental, and applied art find an independent form in his visual language.
In Altomünster, Dulko's bronze sculptures unfold their effect through mass, surface, gesture, and intermediate space. The works challenge the space and create a quiet yet intense presence. Their materiality makes visible how sculpture transforms body, light, and movement into a shared perception.
Fabian Oppolzer: Painting Between Image and Meaning
Fabian Oppolzer combines his work as a painter with literary and cultural scientific thinking. He studied history, theology, and comparative literature in Vienna and has been working as a visual artist since 2017. His artistic practice opens resonance spaces for color, structure, narrative, and memory.
In interplay with Dulko's sculptures, Oppolzer's painting gains additional spatial tension. Color harmony and image rhythm respond to the physicality of bronze. The juxtaposition does not render differences invisible but uses them as a productive basis for deepened contemplation of the works.
Art as a Connection Across Borders
The exhibition also has a cultural-political dimension. Both artists come from regions historically and socially connected through the county partnership between Dachau and Oświęcim/Auschwitz. The Altomünster Museum understands art as a means of creating encounters and overcoming linguistic and cultural barriers.
This makes the exhibition a place of cultural education: visitors experience how different media communicate with one another and how art translates historical relationships into a contemporary aesthetic experience. The museum's unique setting with its history of the Bridgettine Order reinforces this dialogue between contemporary art, memory, and cultural heritage.
Conclusion: An Art Experience with Lasting Impact
Painting & Sculpture in Dialogue promises a concentrated encounter with two independent artistic positions. Bronze sculptures by Remigiusz Dulko meet the painterly and literary sensitivity of Fabian Oppolzer. Anyone wishing to experience color, form, material, and history in immediate perception should definitely visit this exhibition live at the Altomünster Museum.
