When Painting and Sculpture Enter into Conversation
At the Museum Altomünster, the works of Polish sculptor Remigiusz Dulko from Oświęcim/Auschwitz and the painter, musician, and writer Fabian Oppolzer from Aichach meet. The exhibition Painting & Sculpture in Dialogue connects two independent artistic positions to create an intense art 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 respond to one another. Color fields, lines, and compositions encounter the spatial presence of bronze, volume, and surface. In the examination of the works, an aesthetic experience emerges that sharpens awareness of proportion, materiality, and movement.
The atmosphere of the exhibition thrives on concentrated contrasts. While painting opens inner spaces and works with color sounds, sculpture sets physical accents. Light, surface, and interspace become independent carriers of expression and invite the perception to be experienced as an active process.
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, graduating with honors in 1979. For more than four decades, he has primarily worked with bronze and uses the traditional lost-wax casting process for his figurative sculptures.
His works revolve around people, relationships, spirituality, and memory. Often, his visual language moves between the sacred and the everyday, between intimacy and symbolism. The unique bronze sculptures reveal their effect through mass, surface, gesture, and interspace. They challenge the space and create a quiet yet penetrating presence.
Fabian Oppolzer: Painting with Literary Sensitivity
Fabian Oppolzer connects his work as a painter with literary and cultural scientific thinking. The artist from Aichach studied history, theology, and comparative literature in Vienna and has worked as a visual artist since 2017. As a painter, musician, and writer, he develops a position where color, structure, narrative, and memory relate to one another.
In interplay with Dulko's sculptures, Oppolzer's painting gains additional spatial tension. Color harmony and image rhythm respond to the physicality of bronze. Differences are not dissolved but used as a productive basis for deepened examination of the works.
Art as German-Polish Dialogue
The exhibition is connected to the partnership between the Dachau district and Oświęcim/Auschwitz. Two artists from different cultural backgrounds 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 conversations where words alone are not enough. The exhibition makes visible how painting and sculpture can transcend linguistic and cultural boundaries.
A Historical Exhibition Venue
The Museum Altomünster houses not only changing special exhibitions but also a permanent exhibition on the Altomünster Monastery and the Birgittine Order. Tranquility, contemplation, and reflection shape the atmosphere of the house. In this historical setting, the juxtaposition of painting and sculpture gains special depth: Contemporary art enters into a quiet dialogue with the cultural memory of the place.
