When Painting and Sculpture Enter into Conversation
In the Museum Altomünster, the works of Polish sculptor Remigiusz Dulko and Aichach painter and writer Fabian Oppolzer meet. The exhibition Painting & Sculpture in Dialogue connects two distinct artistic positions to create an intense artistic experience centered on form, material, memory, and cultural encounter.
A Dialogue 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 each other. Color surfaces, lines, and image rhythms encounter the spatial presence of bronze, volume, and surface. In the contemplation of the works, an aesthetic experience emerges that sharpens the perception of proportion, materiality, and movement.
The atmosphere of the exhibition thrives on concentrated contrasts. While the painting opens inner spaces and works with color harmonies, the sculpture sets bodily accents. Light, shadow, and intermediate space become active components of perception. Thus, the exhibition invites viewers to not only observe contemporary art but to experience it as an immediate encounter between surface, body, and space.
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 mainly worked with bronze, accompanying the development process of his works from the idea through the design to the final refinement.
His figurative sculptures revolve around people, relationships, spirituality, sensuality, and everyday life. His visual language oscillates between the sacred and the profane. In Altomünster, the bronze works unfold their effect through mass, surface, gesture, and intermediate space. Each sculpture possesses a quiet yet compelling presence, showcasing how craft precision transitions into an independent sculptural language.
Fabian Oppolzer: Painting Between Image and Meaning
Fabian Oppolzer, born in 1984 in Stuttgart and raised in Vorarlberg, studied history, theology, and comparative literary studies in Vienna. He has been working as a visual artist since 2017. His practice combines realistic portraits and imaginative visual worlds with a pronounced literary and cultural historical consciousness.
Oppolzer's works employ oil, watercolor, ink, wax, and mixed techniques. Motifs such as self-portrait, landscape, animal representation, and literary figures open resonance spaces for memory, narrative, and symbolism. In interplay with Dulko, this painting gains an additional spatial tension: color harmony and image rhythm respond to the physicality of bronze.
Art as Connection Across Borders
The exhibition also possesses a cultural-political dimension. Remigiusz Dulko hails from Oświęcim, also known as Auschwitz, the Polish partner district of Dachau. Fabian Oppolzer lives and works in the region. The exhibition thus brings together two artists from different cultural and media contexts, continuing the German-Polish connection through the medium of art.
The Museum Altomünster becomes a place of cultural education, where contemporary art, memory, and historical heritage interact. The exhibition demonstrates how different media communicate with each other and how the contemplation of works opens new perspectives on material, identity, and human encounter.
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 cultural connection in direct observation should definitely visit this exhibition live at the Museum Altomünster.
