When painting and sculpture come into conversation
In the Altomünster Museum, the works of Polish sculptor Remigiusz Dulko from Oświęcim/Auschwitz and the painter, musician, and writer Fabian Oppolzer from Aichach meet. The exhibition Painting & Sculpture in Dialogue connects two independent artistic positions into an intense art experience about form, material, memory, and cultural encounter.
A dialogue between surface, body, and space
The title of the exhibition describes the curatorial principle: painting and sculpture do not stand isolated next to each other, but respond to one another. Color fields, lines, and painterly rhythms meet bodies, surfaces, and spatial presence. In the contemplation of the works, an aesthetic experience emerges that sharpens the gaze for proportion, materiality, and movement.
The atmosphere of the exhibition thrives on concentrated contrasts. Where painting opens up inner spaces and works with color sounds, the sculptures set physical accents. Light, volume, and intermediate space become active components of perception. The exhibition invites visitors to slow down their gaze and experience contemporary art directly.
Remigiusz Dulko: Bronze as dense 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. His figurative sculptures combine craftsmanship with a distinctive plastic language.
Dulko’s works revolve around people, relationships, spirituality, and memory. Between the sacred and the everyday, between intimacy and symbolism, his bronze sculptures develop a silent yet compelling effect. Mass, surface, gesture, and emptiness enter into a tense relationship and make visible how sculpture shapes body, light, and movement into a shared perception.
Fabian Oppolzer: Painting with literary sensitivity
Fabian Oppolzer works as a painter, musician, and writer in Aichach. His artistic practice connects visual thinking with literary attention to memory, narrative, and cultural contexts. The selected paintings enter into a visual exchange with Dulko’s sculptures.
Color harmony and image rhythm respond to the physicality of bronze. Different materials, forms, and expressions do not form a contrast, but an open resonance space. It is in this juxtaposition that the quality of the curation becomes evident: art is experienced as an encounter that opens new perspectives and enables conversations across cultural boundaries.
Art as a German-Polish dialogue
The exhibition is connected to the partnership between the Dachau district and Oświęcim, or Auschwitz. Two artists from different cultural contexts meet in a museum that itself is shaped by history, spirituality, and cultural education.
The exhibition makes clear how art can bring people together. Painting and sculpture create a dialogue where words alone are insufficient. At the same time, the exhibition opens access to questions of memory, identity, history, and European connectedness.
A historical place for contemporary art
The Altomünster Museum houses a permanent exhibition on the Altomünster Monastery and the Brigittine Order, in addition to changing special exhibitions. Serenity, contemplation, and reflection characterize the spaces. In this historical setting, the juxtaposition of painting and sculpture gains special depth: contemporary art enters into a silent dialogue with the cultural memory of the place.

Conclusion: An art experience between history and the present
Painting & Sculpture in Dialogue promises an intense aesthetic experience between bronze, color, form, and space.

A visit to the Altomünster Museum enriches cultural perception and opens an impressive dialogue that one should definitely experience live.
