When Painting and Sculpture Enter into a Conversation
In the Museum Altomünster, from September 27, 2026, to January 17, 2027, two independent artistic positions meet: the sculptor Remigiusz Dulko from Oświęcim or Auschwitz and the painter and writer Fabian Oppolzer from Aichach. The exhibition Painting & Sculpture in Dialogue connects contemporary art with the historical resonance space of the museum and makes visible how art transcends cultural boundaries.
An Artistic Experience between Color, Form, and Material
The title of the exhibition precisely describes the curatorial principle. Painting and sculpture do not appear in isolation, but develop an open dialogue in their juxtaposition. Color fields, lines, and image rhythms encounter volume, surface, and spatial presence. For visitors, an observation of the works arises in which perception constantly shifts between surface and body, movement and stillness, inner image space and plastic presence.
The atmosphere of the exhibition remains focused and calm. This restraint creates space for an aesthetic experience that relies not on quick effects, but on careful observation. Light, material, and spatial effects combine for an artistic experience that communicates different forms of expression.
Remigiusz Dulko: Bronze as Condensed Presence
Remigiusz Dulko presents unique bronze sculptures, whose impact arises from the interplay of mass, surface, and volume. As a sculptor from Oświęcim, he represents a plastic art that not only depicts physicality but understands it as an independent language. The bronze gains a quiet, compelling presence in space and draws attention to proportion, gesture, and materiality.
The sculptures invite visitors to change their viewpoint. Each step reveals a new contour, a different balance between closed form and open space. Thus, the observation of the works becomes a physical experience, where sculpture reveals itself as immediate presence.
Fabian Oppolzer: Painting with Literary Resonance Space
Fabian Oppolzer combines his work as a painter and writer. His images engage in a dynamic exchange with Dulko's plastic works in Altomünster. Color, composition, and image rhythm open up a poetic interpretative space that is not confined to a single reading.
In dialogue with the sculpture, it becomes evident how differently media structure reality. While painting works through surface, color harmony, and visual condensation, sculpture responds with body, weight, and spatial positioning. This curated juxtaposition sharpens the perception of the intrinsic logic of both art forms.
Art as a Cultural Connection
The exhibition also has a cultural-political dimension. The artists come from different cultural contexts but are historically linked through the partnership between the Dachau district and Oświęcim or Auschwitz. The Museum Altomünster makes this connection not illustrative but tangible through art: encounter arises through forms, materials, and images that operate across linguistic boundaries.
As a place of cultural education, the museum connects the special exhibition with its permanent exhibition on the history of the Altomünster monastery and the Bridgettine order. Thus, the visit is expanded by a historical layer. Contemporary art, regional identity, and European memory enter into a shared cultural resonance space.
Conclusion: An Exhibition for Exact Views
Painting & Sculpture in Dialogue promises a concentrated artistic experience between bronze, color, space, and history. Art enthusiasts will experience two distinct artistic handwritings, whose encounter opens new perspectives on material, perception, and cultural connection. Anyone who wants to experience contemporary painting and sculpture in a special exhibition atmosphere should definitely visit this show live at the Museum Altomünster.
