When color and bronze come together
In the Museum Altomünster, the works of Polish sculptor Remigiusz Dulko from Oświęcim/Auschwitz meet with those of Aichach painter, musician, and writer Fabian Oppolzer. The exhibition Painting & Sculpture in Dialogue connects two artistic positions into an intense artistic experience about form, material, memory, and cultural encounter.
A dialogue between surface, body, and space
The exhibition title describes the curatorial principle: painting and sculpture do not stand isolated next to each other but react to one another. Color areas, lines, and compositions interact with the spatial presence of bronze, volume, and surface. In the contemplation of the works, an aesthetic experience emerges that sharpens the view for proportion, materiality, and movement.
The exhibition atmosphere thrives on concentrated contrasts. While painting opens inner spaces and works with color tones, sculpture sets physical accents. Light, spatial effects, and material create a quiet visual exchange that opens up new perspectives on contemporary art.
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. For more than four decades, he has been working with bronze. His figurative sculptures revolve around people, relationships, spirituality, and memory. His visual language navigates between the sacred and the everyday, between intimacy and symbolism.
For Dulko, bronze appears not just as a resistant material but as a carrier of time and human presence. His plastic works combine artisanal precision with a reflective, often contemplative impact.
Fabian Oppolzer: Painting with literary sensitivity
Fabian Oppolzer complements Dulko's plastic presence with a painterly position. As a painter, musician, and writer, he connects different forms of expression and opens a further resonance space for the exhibition. His selected images enter into a visual exchange with the bronze sculptures and draw attention to color, rhythm, mood, and composition.
This results in not just a mere juxtaposition of two media. Rather, an open encounter between works develops, where painterly surfaces and sculptural volumes question each other.
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 museum shaped by history, spirituality, and cultural education. The curation understands art as an opportunity to bring people together and initiate conversations where words alone are insufficient.
A historical place for contemporary art
The Museum Altomünster not only hosts changing special exhibitions but also has a permanent exhibition about the Altomünster monastery and the Bridgettine order. Calmness, contemplation, and reflection characterize the atmosphere of the house. In this historical context, the encounter of painting and sculpture gains a special depth: contemporary art enters into a quiet dialogue with the cultural memory of the place.
Conclusion: An art experience between history and the present
Painting & Sculpture in Dialogue promises an intense aesthetic experience between bronze, color, form, and space. Art enthusiasts will experience how two different media communicate with each other and how cultural encounters gain new significance through the contemplation of the works. A visit to the Museum Altomünster enriches cultural perception and opens up an impressive dialogue that should definitely be experienced live.
