Painting and Sculpture in Dialogue: Art as Encounter at the Altomünster Museum
At the Altomünster Museum, from September 27, 2026, to January 17, 2027, two independent artistic positions will meet: the bronze sculptures of Polish sculptor Remigiusz Dulko from Oświęcim/Auschwitz and the paintings of Aichach artist and writer Fabian Oppolzer. The exhibition connects color, form, material, and memory into a compelling artistic experience.
A Dialogue between Surface, Body, and Space
The exhibition title also describes the curatorial principle. Painting and sculpture do not stand isolated side by side but enter into a visual exchange. Color fields, lines, and image rhythms meet the spatial presence of bronze, volume, and surface. In the contemplation of the works, an aesthetic experience is created that sharpens the perception of proportion, materiality, light, and movement.
The exhibition atmosphere thrives on concentrated contrasts. While the paintings open inner spaces and work with color tones, the sculptures set physical accents. The juxtaposition invites one to experience perception as an active process and to view contemporary art from different perspectives.
Remigiusz Dulko: Bronze as Concentrated Presence
Remigiusz Dulko was born in 1955 in Lidzbark Warmiński. He studied sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków and graduated with honors in 1979. For more than four decades, bronze has shaped his artistic work. His figurative sculptures combine craftsmanship precision with symbolic depth and revolve around people, relationships, memory, spirituality, as well as the tension between the sacred and the everyday.
In Altomünster, Dulko's bronze sculptures unfold their effect through mass, surface, gesture, and interspace. Material and light merge into a plastic visual language, whose impact is particularly evident in immediate encounters. The works challenge the space and create a quiet yet penetrating presence.
Fabian Oppolzer: Painting between Image and Meaning
Fabian Oppolzer works as a painter and writer in Aichach. He has been an artist since 2017. His painting opens resonance spaces for color, structure, narrative, and memory. In interplay with Dulko's sculptures, it gains an additional spatial tension.
Color sound and image rhythm respond to the physicality of bronze. Differences between surface and volume, line and contour, openness and condensation are not dissolved but made visible as a productive basis for a deeper contemplation of the works. The exhibition thus also conveys expertise about artistic media and spatial effects.
Art as Connection Across Borders
The exhibition also has a cultural-historical dimension. Both artists come from regions that are historically and socially connected through the county partnership between Dachau and Oświęcim/Auschwitz. Here, art is understood as a possibility of encounter that overcomes linguistic and cultural boundaries.
The historical surroundings of the museum with its permanent exhibition on the Altomünster monastery and the Brigittine order intensify the dialogue between contemporary art, memory, and cultural heritage. Thus, the exhibition becomes a place of cultural education where visitors learn how different media communicate with one another.
Conclusion: An Aesthetic Experience with Lasting Impact
Painting and 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. Anyone wishing to experience color, form, material, and history in immediate perception should definitely visit this exhibition at the Altomünster Museum live.
