When Color and Bronze Engage in Conversation
The Altomünster Museum presents Painting & Sculpture in Dialogue, a German-Polish exhibition featuring works by sculptor Remigiusz Dulko from Oświęcim/Auschwitz and Aichach painter and writer Fabian Oppolzer. The exhibition connects two artistic positions that, across cultural boundaries, open new perspectives on perception, memory, and human encounters.
Plastic Presence Meets Painterly Openness
The focus of the exhibition is on unique bronze sculptures by Remigiusz Dulko and selected works by Fabian Oppolzer. Dulko studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow and has been working with bronze for over four decades. His figurative sculpture revolves around people, relationships, spirituality, and the tension between the sacred and the everyday.
The sculptures unleash their impact through volume, surface, weight, and space. The warm, yet resistant material bronze gives the figures a physical presence, while light and shadow continually reshape their contours. Oppolzer's painting counters this plastic expression with color, line, and surface. This creates a curated encounter where contour and color harmony, body and pictorial space, density and openness illuminate each other.
Art as a Bridge Between Dachau and Oświęcim
The exhibition also possesses a cultural-political and historical dimension. The two artists come from regions connected by the district partnership between Dachau and Oświęcim. The museum understands the dialogue of the works as a continuation of this connection: art creates encounters, overcomes linguistic boundaries, and brings people into conversation.
In the immediate viewing of the works, it becomes clear how differently artistic media store experiences. Painting opens up an atmospheric pictorial space, while sculpture, through its three-dimensionality, invites movement around the work. This develops into an intense art experience with changing viewpoints and a focused exhibition atmosphere.
Aesthetic Experience at the Altomünster Museum
The exhibition is part of the Altomünster Museum, which, in addition to its special exhibition, conveys the history of the monastery and the Bridgettine order. In this special environment, contemporary painting, modern sculpture, and historical spaces encounter one another. The calm atmosphere supports a slowed-down viewing of the works and makes cultural education an experiential journey.
Visitors discover an exhibition that is not limited to a single interpretation. Bronze, color, shape, and space create an open structure where personal memories find space alongside art historical questions about material, figure, symbol, and dialogue.
Conclusion: An Exhibition Visit as an Encounter
Painting & Sculpture in Dialogue gathers two independent artistic voices and allows a multifaceted exchange to emerge from them. Art enthusiasts can look forward to an exhibition that intertwines figurative sculpture, painterly reflection, German-Polish history, and vibrant cultural communication. Those who wish to experience the impact of bronze, color, and space firsthand should not miss this art experience at the Altomünster Museum.
