When Painting and Sculpture Enter into Conversation
The Altomünster Museum dedicates an exhibition to Remigiusz Dulko and Fabian Oppolzer, where bronze sculptures and paintings intertwine in a multifaceted artistic dialogue. On Saturday, November 21, 2026, visitors will experience an artistic journey between material, color, memory, and cultural understanding from 1 PM to 4 PM.
Bronze Between Body, Memory, and Symbol
Remigiusz Dulko, born in 1955 in Lidzbark Warmiński and working in Oświęcim for many years, studied at the Krakow Academy of Fine Arts and graduated with honors in sculpture in 1979. For over four decades, he has been working with bronze and closely accompanies the creation process of his works from design to final finishing. His figurative sculptures revolve around human relationships, spirituality, sensuality, and the tension between the sacred and the everyday.
The traditional technique of lost-wax casting gives the sculptures a unique material presence. Surfaces, plastic compressions, and the visible weight of the metal make each artwork a direct aesthetic experience. In addition to monumental works, Dulko also creates reliefs, medals, statuettes, and sacred sculptures.
Fabian Oppolzer's Painterly Dream Spaces
Fabian Oppolzer, born in 1984 in Stuttgart, studied history, theology, and comparative literature in Vienna. Since 2012, he has worked as a freelance writer, and since 2017 as a visual artist. His painting and graphics combine realistic portraits with imaginative, dreamlike visual worlds, where familiar reality intertwines with magical elevation.
In the exhibition, his paintings meet Dulko's bronzes at eye level. Color, line, and surface intersect with volume, weight, and shadow. This creates a rich spatial effect where the boundaries between painting and sculpture open up. The curation highlights commonalities: human closeness, inner landscapes, and the capability of art to connect historical and cultural experiences.
Art as a German-Polish Dialogue
The exhibition also possesses a cultural-historical dimension. Dulko comes from the Polish Oświęcim, while Oppolzer hails from Bavaria. Their meeting at the Altomünster Museum ties into the long-standing connection between Dachau and Oświęcim. Here, art becomes a parallel language of history: It fosters encounters, opens new perspectives, and brings people into dialogue with one another.
It is particularly in the juxtaposition that the exhibition atmosphere unfolds. The warm glow of bronze, the contours of plastic bodies, and Oppolzer's colorful picture spaces invite for a decelerated viewing of the works. Visitors experience cultural education not as abstract knowledge transfer, but as a sensual engagement with material, form, and meaning.
Conclusion: An Exhibition for Curious Eyes
Painting and Sculpture in Dialogue promises a concentrated artistic experience with an international perspective. The exhibition combines art-historical expertise, craftsmanship, and personal visual worlds into an encounter that transcends individual works. Anyone wanting to experience the aesthetic encounter of bronze, color, and space directly should definitely visit this exhibition at the Altomünster Museum live.
