When Painting and Sculpture Enter Into Dialogue
On November 15, 2026, the works of the Polish sculptor Remigiusz Dulko from Oświęcim/Auschwitz and the painter, musician, and writer Fabian Oppolzer from Aichach will meet at the Museum Altomünster. The exhibition Painting & Sculpture in Dialogue connects two artistic positions into a compelling artistic 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 compositions meet the spatial presence of bronze, volume, and surface. In viewing the works, an aesthetic experience emerges that sharpens the perception of proportion, materiality, and movement.
The atmosphere of the exhibition thrives on concentrated contrasts. Where painting opens inner spaces and works with color sounds, sculpture sets physical accents. Light, spatial effect, and material make visible how differently artistic media shape perception.
Remigiusz Dulko: Bronze, Figure, and Memory
Remigiusz Dulko was born in 1955 in Lidzbark Warmiński and studied sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow, which he graduated with honors in 1979. For more than four decades, he has primarily worked with bronze and uses the traditional lost-wax casting method for his figurative sculptures.
His works revolve around people, relationships, spirituality, and memory. His visual language often moves between the sacred and the everyday, between intimacy and symbolism. In Altomünster, the bronze sculptures unfold their impact through mass, surface, gesture, and space in-between.
Fabian Oppolzer: Painting with Literary Sensibility
Fabian Oppolzer connects his work as a painter with literary, musical, and cultural-scientific thinking. He studied history, theology, and comparative literature in Vienna and has been working as a visual artist since 2017.
His selected paintings enter into a visual exchange with Dulko's sculptures. Color harmony and image rhythm respond to the physicality of bronze. The juxtaposition uses differences as a productive basis for a deepened examination of the works and opens resonance spaces for color, structure, narrative, and memory.
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 contexts meet in a museum that is itself shaped by history, spirituality, and cultural education.
The curation understands art as a way to bring people together and to open dialogues where words alone are not sufficient. Painting and sculpture thus become a parallel language of history and a space for new perspectives.
A Historical Exhibition Venue
The Museum Altomünster houses, besides changing special exhibitions, a permanent exhibition on the Altomünster Monastery and the Bridgettine Order. Calmness, contemplation, and reflection characterize the atmosphere of the house. In this historical context, contemporary art gains a special depth.
Visitor Information
The exhibition is open on Sunday, November 15, 2026, from 1 PM to 5 PM. Admission costs 2.50 euros per person. Children up to 14 years visit the museum free of charge. Groups of ten or more pay 2.00 euros per person.
Conclusion: An Artistic Experience Between History and Present
Painting & Sculpture in Dialogue promises an intense aesthetic experience between bronze, color, form, and space. Art enthusiasts will experience how two different media speak to each other and how cultural encounters gain new meaning through the examination of the works. A visit to the Museum Altomünster enriches cultural perception and opens an impressive dialogue that must be experienced live.
