When painting and sculpture enter into conversation
At the Museum Altomünster, the works of Polish sculptor Remigiusz Dulko from Oświęcim/Auschwitz and the painter and writer Fabian Oppolzer from Aichach meet. The exhibition Painting & Sculpture in Dialogue connects two different artistic languages into a compelling art experience about color, form, material, memory, and cultural encounter.
A dialogue between plane, body, and space
The curation does not place painting and sculpture as opposites next to each other but allows them to react to one another. Color fields, lines, and painterly rhythms meet volumes, surfaces, and spatial presence. In the viewing of the works, an aesthetic experience emerges that sharpens the eye for proportion, materiality, and movement.
The atmosphere of the exhibition thrives on concentrated tensions: Where painting opens inner spaces, sculpture sets physical accents. Light, shadow, and interspaces become active components of perception. Visitors experience how art creates communication beyond its materiality.
Remigiusz Dulko: Bronze as condensed 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. He has been working with bronze for more than four decades. His figurative sculptures revolve around people, relationships, spirituality, and memory, often moving between the sacred and the everyday.
Dulko's bronze sculptures unfold their effect through mass, surface, gesture, and interspace. The time-honored material appears both powerful and sensitive. Each plastic form refers to the possibilities of craftsmanship precision and to the tension between idea and grown material.
Fabian Oppolzer: Painting with literary sensitivity
Fabian Oppolzer connects his work as a painter with literary and cultural-scientific thinking. The Aichach-based artist, musician, and writer brings a visual language in which color, structure, narrative, and memory are interconnected. His painting opens resonant spaces that extend beyond the individual image.
In interaction with Dulko's sculptures, Oppolzer's painting gains an added spatial tension. Color harmony and image rhythm respond to the physicality of bronze. Differences are not erased but made visible as a productive basis for a deeper consideration of the works.
Art as a German-Polish dialogue
The exhibition is related to the partnership between the Dachau district and Oświęcim/Auschwitz. Two artists from different cultural backgrounds meet in a historical museum and show how art can transcend linguistic and cultural boundaries. The dialogue between painting and sculpture thus simultaneously becomes a dialogue about history, memory, and the present.
A historical place for contemporary art
The Museum Altomünster, in addition to changing special exhibitions, houses a permanent exhibition about the Altomünster monastery and the Bridgettine order. Calmness, contemplation, and reflection characterize the atmosphere of the house. In this environment, the juxtaposition of painting and sculpture gains a special depth: Contemporary art enters into a silent exchange with the cultural memory of the place.
Conclusion: An aesthetic experience between color and bronze
Painting & Sculpture in Dialogue promises a concentrated art experience between plane, body, light, and space. Art enthusiasts experience how two different media communicate with each other and how cultural encounters gain new meaning through careful consideration of the works. A visit to the Museum Altomünster enriches cultural perception and opens up an impressive dialogue that must be experienced live.
