Painting and Sculpture in Dialogue: Art Connects in Altomünster
In the Altomünster Museum, the bronze sculptures of Polish sculptor Remigiusz Dulko from Oświęcim/Auschwitz meet the paintings of Aichach artist, musician, and writer Fabian Oppolzer. The exhibition connects two independent artistic positions into a compelling art experience about color, form, material, memory, and cultural encounter.
When Surface and Body Talk to Each Other
The exhibition title also describes the curatorial principle: painting and sculpture do not stand isolated next to each other, but enter into a multi-layered dialogue. Dulko has been working with bronze since the beginning of his artistic career and personally controls the creation process of his works – from design to final processing. His sculptures unfold their impact through physical presence, surface, weight, and space in between.
In the museum, the bronze bodies enter into an immediate relationship with the architecture and the light. Observing the works directs the gaze towards materiality, contour, and movement. Each sculpture changes the spatial effect and invites one to perceive forms not just visually, but also physically and atmospherically.
Fabian Oppolzer: Painting between Color and Memory
Fabian Oppolzer connects his work as a painter with literary and cultural-scientific thinking. His images open resonance spaces for color, structure, narrative, and memory. In interplay with the sculptures, the painting gains an additional spatial tension: color tones respond to the physicality of bronze, lines encounter contours, surface reacts to volume.
It is precisely from the differences between painting and sculpture that a productive aesthetic experience arises. The exhibition shows how different media communicate with each other and open new perspectives on artistic expression.
Art as a German-Polish Encounter
The exhibition also has a cultural-historical and social dimension. Both artists come from regions that are connected through the district partnership between Dachau and Oświęcim/Auschwitz. Art here becomes a visible opportunity for encounter – across linguistic, cultural, and historical boundaries.
Contemporary art encounters the cultural heritage of the house and its permanent exhibition on the Altomünster Monastery and the Bridgettine Order at the Altomünster Museum. This connection creates a special framework for cultural education: visitors experience how the present, memory, and historical place touch in a concentrated exhibition atmosphere.
An Art Experience for Curious Eyes
The exhibition invites visitors to take time for slow contemplation. Colors, forms, bronze surfaces, and spatial relationships unfold their impact in direct opposition. Thus, a visit to the exhibition stimulates both art-historical questions and personal associations.
Conclusion: Two Positions, an Intense Dialogue
Remigiusz Dulko and Fabian Oppolzer show how painting and sculpture can complement, challenge each other, and create new meaning. Art enthusiasts can expect a sensory engagement with color, form, material, and history. Those who want to experience cultural encounter and aesthetic experience live should definitely visit this exhibition at the Altomünster Museum.
