When Painting and Sculpture Come Together in Conversation
At the Museum Altomünster, the works of Polish sculptor Remigiusz Dulko from Oświęcim/Auschwitz and Aichach painter and writer Fabian Oppolzer meet. The exhibition Painting & Sculpture in Dialogue connects two independent artistic positions into a compelling 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 respond to one another. Color fields, lines, and compositions encounter the spatial presence of bronze, volume, and surface. In viewing the works, an aesthetic experience emerges that sharpens the perception of proportion, materiality, and movement.
The atmosphere of the exhibition thrives on concentrated contrasts. Where painting opens inner spaces and works with color harmonies, sculpture sets physical accents. The works invite participants to experience perception as an active process and gain new perspectives on contemporary art.
Remigiusz Dulko: Bronze as Condensed Presence
Born in 1955 in Lidzbark Warmiński, Remigiusz Dulko studied sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow. Since the beginning of his artistic career, he has primarily worked with bronze. His sculptures combine craftsmanship precision with a strong plastic effect; themes from erotic, sacred, monumental, and applied realms find an independent form in his visual language.
In Altomünster, Dulko's bronze sculptures unfold their effect through mass, surface, gesture, and intermediate space. The works challenge the space and create a quiet yet compelling presence. Their materiality makes visible how sculpture translates body, light, and movement into a shared perception.
Fabian Oppolzer: Painting Between Image and Meaning
Fabian Oppolzer combines his work as a painter with literary and cultural scientific thought. He studied history, theology, and comparative studies in Vienna and has worked as a visual artist since 2017. His artistic practice opens resonance spaces for color, structure, narrative, and memory.
In interplay with Dulko's sculptures, Oppolzer's painting gains an additional spatial tension. Color harmony and pictorial rhythm respond to the physicality of bronze. The juxtaposition does not make differences invisible; rather, it uses them as a productive basis for a deeper viewing of the works.
Art as a Connection Across Borders
The exhibition also has a cultural-political dimension. Both artists come from regions that are historically and socially connected through the district partnership between Dachau and Oświęcim/Auschwitz. The Museum Altomünster understands art as a means to create encounters and overcome linguistic and cultural boundaries.
This makes the exhibition a place of cultural education: Visitors experience how different media communicate with each other and how art translates historical relationships into a current aesthetic experience. The unique setting of the museum with its history of the Bridgettine Order enhances the dialogue between contemporary art, memory, and cultural heritage.
Conclusion: An Artistic Experience with Lasting Impact
Painting & Sculpture in Dialogue promises a concentrated encounter with two independent artistic positions. Bronze sculptures by Remigiusz Dulko meet the painterly and literary sensitivity of Fabian Oppolzer. Those who wish to experience color, form, material, and history in immediate perception should definitely visit this exhibition at the Museum Altomünster live.
