When Painting and Sculpture Engage in Conversation
The Museum Altomünster dedicates an exhibition to Remigiusz Dulko and Fabian Oppolzer, where two independent artistic positions meet. Painting & Sculpture in Dialogue connects the spatial presence of bronze with the poetic openness of painting and opens new perspectives on form, material, memory, and cultural encounter.
A Dialogue Between Surface, Body, and Space
The exhibition title describes the curatorial principle: color areas, lines, and picture rhythms relate to volumes, surfaces, and plastic gestures. In the consideration of the works, an aesthetic experience emerges that sharpens the perception of proportion, materiality, and spatial effect. The exhibition atmosphere invites visitors to slow down perception and attentively follow the silent communication of the works.
Remigiusz Dulko: Bronze as Condensed Presence
The Polish sculptor Remigiusz Dulko, born in 1955 in Lidzbark Warmiński, studied sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow and graduated with honors in 1979. Since the beginning of his artistic career, he has primarily worked with bronze. His figurative sculptures revolve around people, relationships, spirituality, and memory, combining artisanal precision with an intense plastic language.
In Altomünster, Dulko's bronze sculptures unfold their effect through mass, surface, light, and intermediate space. The works challenge space and make visible how sculpture transfers physicality, movement, and symbolic meaning into a shared perception.
Fabian Oppolzer: Painting Between Image and Meaning
Fabian Oppolzer from Aichach works as a painter, musician, and writer. His painterly position complements Dulko's plastic presence with color sound, image rhythm, and literary sensitivity. The selected images open resonance spaces for perception, memory, and storytelling.
In interplay with the sculptures, Oppolzer's painting gains an additional spatial tension. Different materials and forms of expression do not form a contrast, but an open dialogue in which surface and body, intimacy and public, present and memory meet.
Art as a German-Polish Connection
The exhibition is related to the partnership between the Dachau district and Oświęcim, respectively Auschwitz. Two artists from different cultural contexts encounter each other in a museum shaped by history, spirituality, and cultural education. The curation understands art as a means to bring people together and open conversations where words alone are not sufficient.
A Historical Place for Contemporary Art
The Museum Altomünster houses, alongside changing special exhibitions, a permanent exhibition on the Altomünster Monastery and the Bridgettine Order. Calmness, contemplativeness, and reflection characterize the exhibition atmosphere. In this historical context, the juxtaposition of painting and sculpture gains a special depth: contemporary art enters into a silent dialogue with the cultural memory of the place.

Conclusion: An Art Experience Between History and Present
Painting & Sculpture in Dialogue promises a concentrated aesthetic experience between bronze, color, form, and space.

Anyone wishing to discover contemporary art in a historically significant setting should definitely visit this exhibition live at the Museum Altomünster.
