When Painting and Sculpture Start a Conversation
At the Museum Altomünster, from September 27, 2026, to January 17, 2027, the works of Polish sculptor Remigiusz Dulko from Oświęcim/Auschwitz and Aichach painter and writer Fabian Oppolzer meet. The exhibition Painting & Sculpture in Dialogue shows how color, form, and material interact across cultural and linguistic borders.
An Artistic Experience Between Surface, Body, and Space
The title of the exhibition also describes the curatorial principle: Painting and sculpture do not stand isolated next to each other but respond to one another. Color tone, line, and image rhythm meet volume, surface, and plastic presence. In the contemplation of the works, a concentrated exhibition atmosphere arises, where the gaze wanders between painterly openness and the physical effect of the sculpture.
The aesthetic experience thrives on contrasts: Painting opens imaginary spaces, while sculpture condenses real space. Light models surfaces, shadows emphasize contours, and the materials develop a quiet but forceful presence. Thus, the museum visit becomes a cultural encounter that sharpens perception and opens new perspectives on contemporary art.
Remigiusz Dulko: Bronze as Condensed Presence
Remigiusz Dulko, a sculptor from Oświęcim, presents unique bronze sculptures that provoke thought. His plastic language is based on the interplay of mass, volume, surface, and gesture. Bronze appears not only as a material but also as a carrier of memory, physicality, and historical resonance.
The sculptures claim the space and alter the perception of their surroundings. Each form has its own gravity; each surface responds to light. In dialogue with the paintings of Fabian Oppolzer, the works unfold an additional tension between material permanence and painterly movement.
Fabian Oppolzer: Painting with Literary Resonance
Fabian Oppolzer works as a painter and writer in Aichach. His artistic position connects visual thinking with literary and historical reflection. The selected images engage in a conscious exchange with Dulko and enrich the exhibition with color, composition, and narrative openness.
It is precisely in this juxtaposition that the strength of the curation lies. The different artistic languages are not simplified, but rather made visible in their independence. Visitors experience how meaning evolves from the relationship between the works – through proximity, contrast, repetition, and the change of perspective.
Art as a Bridge Between Dachau and Oświęcim
The exhibition also has a cultural-political dimension. The artistic dialogue continues the partnership between Dachau and Oświęcim/Auschwitz in a special way. The Museum Altomünster understands art as a means to create encounter and overcome historical and cultural boundaries.
As a place of cultural education, the museum connects the special exhibition with its permanent exhibition on the history of the Altomünster monastery and the Bridgettine order. This creates a special resonance space between regional history, religious cultural heritage, and contemporary art.
Conclusion: An Exhibition That Changes Perspective
Painting & Sculpture in Dialogue promises an intense artistic experience between bronze, color, space, and memory. Art enthusiasts discover two independent positions, whose juxtaposition opens new ways of thinking and perceiving. Those who appreciate contemporary painting, sculpture, and art-historically relevant encounters should definitely experience this exhibition live at the Museum Altomünster.
