When painting and sculpture engage in conversation
At the Altomünster Museum, the works of Polish sculptor Remigiusz Dulko and Aichach painter and writer Fabian Oppolzer come together. The exhibition Painting & Sculpture in Dialogue combines two independent artistic languages into an intense art experience about 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 image rhythms meet the spatial presence of bronze, volume, and surface. In the contemplation of the works, an aesthetic experience emerges that sharpens the perception of proportion, materiality, and movement.
The atmosphere of the exhibition thrives on concentrated contrasts. While painting opens inner spaces and works with color tones, sculpture sets physical accents. Light, shadow, and interspace become active components of perception. Thus, the exhibition invites visitors to not only view contemporary art but to experience it as an immediate encounter of surface, body, and space.
Remigiusz Dulko: Bronze as a condensed presence
Remigiusz Dulko was born in 1955 in Lidzbark Warmiński and studied sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków, graduating with honors in 1979. For more than four decades, he has primarily worked with bronze and accompanies the creation process of his works from the idea through design to the final treatment.
His figurative sculptures revolve around people, relationships, spirituality, sensuality, and everyday life. His imagery moves between the sacred and the profane. In Altomünster, the bronze works unfold their impact through mass, surface, gesture, and interspace. Each sculpture possesses a quiet, yet penetrating presence and shows how craftsmanship precision transitions into an independent plastic language.
Fabian Oppolzer: Painting between image and meaning
Fabian Oppolzer, born in 1984 in Stuttgart and raised in Vorarlberg, studied history, theology, and comparative literature in Vienna. Since 2017, he has been working as a visual artist. His practice combines realistic portraits and imaginative imagery with a pronounced literary and cultural-historical awareness.
Oppolzer's works utilize oil, watercolor, ink, wax, and mixed techniques. Motifs such as self-portrait, landscape, animal representation, and literary figures open resonance spaces for memory, narrative, and symbolism. In conjunction with Dulko's works, this painting gains additional spatial tension: color sound and image rhythm respond to the physicality of bronze.
Art as a connection across borders
The exhibition also has a cultural-political dimension. Remigiusz Dulko comes from Oświęcim or Auschwitz, the Polish partner district of Dachau. Fabian Oppolzer lives and works in the region. The exhibition thus brings together two artists from different cultural and medial contexts and continues the German-Polish connection in the medium of art.
The Altomünster Museum becomes a place of cultural education, where contemporary art, memory, and historical heritage relate to one another. The exhibition shows how different media communicate with one another and how contemplation of the works opens new perspectives on material, identity, and human encounter.
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 cultural connection in immediate perception should definitely visit this exhibition live at the Altomünster Museum.
