When Painting and Sculpture Start a Conversation
The Altomünster Museum invites you on December 25, 2026, to a special art experience: Under the title Painting & Sculpture in Dialogue, works by Polish sculptor Remigiusz Dulko from Oświęcim/Auschwitz and Aichach painter and writer Fabian Oppolzer meet. The exhibition connects two distinct artistic positions into an aesthetic experience of form, material, memory, and cultural understanding.
Bronze Between Body, Memory, and Spirituality
Remigiusz Dulko studied sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków and graduated with honors in 1979. For more than four decades, he has been working with bronze. His figurative sculptures revolve around human relationships, everyday life, sensuality, and spirituality. In the contemplation of works, the plastic creations unfold their effect through volume, surface, gesture, and space in between.
The bronze possesses a physically present yet quiet effect. Light shapes the surfaces, while mass and emptiness structure the exhibition space. Dulko combines craftsmanship precision with a symbolically open imagery that invites viewers to a personal engagement with human closeness, history, and inner movement.
Fabian Oppolzer: Painting Between Image and Narrative
Fabian Oppolzer, born in Stuttgart in 1984 and raised in Vorarlberg, studied history, theology, and comparative literature in Vienna. Since 2017, he has been working as a visual artist. As a painter, writer, and musician, he combines artistic design with literary and cultural-historical thinking.
His artistic practice includes realistic portraits and imaginative visual worlds. Oil, watercolor, ink, wax, and mixed techniques open up different material and color spaces. Subjects like self-portrait, landscape, animal representation, and literary figures condense into resonant spaces for memory, perception, and symbolism.
A Curated Dialogue Between Surface, Body, and Space
The exhibition does not merely place painting and sculpture side by side. Its curation directs attention to the transitions between two-dimensional surfaces and three-dimensional bodies. Color sound, line, and composition respond to the spatial presence of bronze; forms, materials, and light enter into a tense exchange.
This creates a concentrated exhibition atmosphere in which the differences of the media become productive. The contemplation of works leads from visible form to questions of identity, cultural imprint, and human encounters. The museum becomes a place of cultural education, where contemporary art and regional memory culture are interconnected.
Art as a Connection Across Borders
The exhibition also has a special cultural-historical dimension. Remigiusz Dulko comes from Oświęcim or Auschwitz, the Polish partner district of Dachau, while Fabian Oppolzer originates from the region. The artistic dialogue continues the German-Polish partnership in an aesthetic manner and shows how art can transcend linguistic, geographic, and cultural boundaries.
Conclusion: An Artistic Experience with Lasting Resonance
Painting & Sculpture in Dialogue promises an intense aesthetic experience between color, form, material, and history. Visitors will experience two distinct styles that expand upon each other and open up new perspectives on contemporary art. Those who want to experience painting and sculpture directly in a historic museum space should definitely visit this exhibition live.
