Painting and Sculpture in Dialogue: Art Connects in Altomünster
In the Museum Altomünster, from September 27, 2026 to January 17, 2027, the works of the Polish sculptor Remigiusz Dulko from Oświęcim/Auschwitz and the painter and writer Fabian Oppolzer from Aichach come together. The exhibition connects two independent artistic positions to create a compelling art experience about form, material, memory, and cultural encounter.
When Color Meets Volume
The exhibition title describes the curatorial principle: painting and sculpture do not stand isolated next to each other, but react to one another. Areas of color, lines, and painterly rhythms encounter the spatial presence of bronze, volume, and surface. In the observation of 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. Light, spatial effect, and material lead to a perception that moves between surface and space, opening new perspectives on contemporary art.
Remigiusz Dulko: Bronze as Condensed Presence
Remigiusz Dulko was born in 1955 in Lidzbark Warmiński and studied sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow, graduating with honors in 1979. For more than four decades, he has primarily worked with bronze and utilizes the traditional lost-wax casting method for his figurative sculptures.
Dulko's art revolves around people, relationships, spirituality, and memory. His imagery moves between the sacred and the everyday, between intimacy and symbolism. In Altomünster, the bronze sculptures unfold their effect through mass, surface, gesture, and interspace. The works challenge the space and create a quiet, yet profound presence.
Fabian Oppolzer: Painting Between Image and Meaning
Fabian Oppolzer works as a painter, musician, and writer in Aichach. His artistic practice connects visual thinking with literary sensitivity and opens resonant 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 make differences invisible, but uses them as a productive basis for a deeper exploration of the works.
Art as a German-Polish Dialogue
The exhibition is linked to the partnership between the Dachau district and Oświęcim/Auschwitz. Two artists from different cultural contexts meet in a museum that itself is shaped by history, spirituality, and cultural education. The curation understands art as a means to bring people together and open discussions where words alone are not enough.
A Historic Exhibition Venue
The Museum Altomünster houses a permanent exhibition on the Altomünster monastery and the Bridgettine order, in addition to changing special exhibitions. Calmness, contemplation, and reflection shape the atmosphere of the house. In this historic environment, contemporary art enters a quiet dialogue with the cultural memory of the place.

Conclusion: An Art Experience Between History and Present
