When Painting and Sculpture Enter into Conversation
At the Museum Altomünster, 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 independent artistic positions into a captivating art experience about color, form, material, memory, and cultural encounter.
A Dialogue Between Surface, Body, and Space
The title of the exhibition also describes the curatorial principle: painting and sculpture do not stand isolated next to each other, but respond to one another. Color surfaces, lines, and compositions interact with the spatial presence of bronze, volume, and surface. In the observation of the works, an aesthetic experience emerges that sharpens the view for proportion, materiality, light, and movement.
The atmosphere of the exhibition thrives on concentrated contrasts. While painting opens inner spaces and works with color harmonies, sculpture sets physical accents. The juxtaposition invites one to experience perception as an active process and to view contemporary art from different perspectives.
Remigiusz Dulko: Bronze as Condensed Presence
Remigiusz Dulko, born in 1955 in Lidzbark Warmiński, studied sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow, graduating with honors in 1979. For more than four decades, bronze has shaped his artistic work. His figurative sculptures combine craftsmanship precision with symbolic depth, revolving around people, relationships, memory, spirituality, and the tension between the sacred and the everyday.
In Altomünster, Dulko’s bronze sculptures unleash their effect through mass, surface, gesture, and interspace. The works challenge the space and create a quiet yet compelling presence. Material, light, and body merge into a plastic visual language that reveals its effect only in immediate encounter.
Fabian Oppolzer: Painting Between Image and Meaning
Fabian Oppolzer combines his work as a painter with literary and cultural studies thinking. The artist and writer based in Aichach has been working as a visual artist since 2017. His painting 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. Differences between surface and volume, line and contour, openness and density are not abolished, but made visible as a productive foundation for a deeper observation of the works.
Art as a Connection Across Boundaries
The exhibition also has a cultural-political dimension. Both artists come from regions historically and socially connected through the district partnership between Dachau and Oświęcim/Auschwitz. The Museum Altomünster views art as a means to create encounters and overcome linguistic and cultural boundaries.
The historical environment of the museum with its permanent exhibition on the Altomünster monastery and the Bridgettine order enhances the dialogue between contemporary art, memory, and cultural heritage. Thus, the exhibition becomes a place of cultural education, where visitors experience how different media communicate with each other.
Conclusion: An Aesthetic 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. Those who wish to experience color, form, material, and history in immediate observation should definitely visit this exhibition at the Museum Altomünster live.
