When Painting and Sculpture Engage in Conversation
The exhibition Painting & Sculpture in Dialogue at the Altomünster Museum brings together two independent artistic positions from Germany and Poland: the expressive bronze sculptures of Polish sculptor Remigiusz Dulko from Oświęcim or Auschwitz and the paintings of Aichach artist and writer Fabian Oppolzer. On December 6, 2026, the exhibition invites visitors to a concentrated view of the works and a special art experience between materiality, color, memory, and cultural understanding.
Bronze Between Body, Spirituality, and Memory
Remigiusz Dulko studied sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow and graduated with honors in 1979. Since the beginning of his artistic career, he has been working intensively with bronze and accompanies the creation process of his works from the initial idea through the design to the final treatment. His figurative sculptures navigate between human relationships, sensuality, spirituality, and the tension between the sacred and the everyday.
In the aesthetic experience before the original, bronze unfolds a compelling presence. Weight and movement, resistance and sensual surface enter into a dynamic relationship. Dulko's three-dimensional language of forms physically anchors thoughts in space and opens up questions of closeness, memory, and transcendence.
Fabian Oppolzer: Painting with Literary Sensitivity
Fabian Oppolzer works as a painter, musician, and writer. His images connect realistic portraits with imaginative and dream-like worlds. Familiar motifs undergo a poetic shift, while areas of color, figures, and narrative hints mediate between observation, memory, and inner imagination.
For the exhibition, Oppolzer's paintings were coordinated with Dulko's bronze sculptures. This creates not merely a juxtaposition of two genres but a curated encounter: color reacts to volume, surface to body, painterly openness to sculptural presence. Oppolzer received, among other awards, the Audience Award of the Aichach Art Prize 2022.
Dialogue as a Curatorial Principle
The exhibition understands painting and sculpture not as opposites but as correspondingly expressive forms. The eye wanders from the painterly surface to the three-dimensional shape, from color tones to shadows, and from narrative image spaces to physical presence. This interaction makes the exhibition atmosphere at the Altomünster Museum particularly tangible.
At the same time, the presentation has a cultural-historical dimension. Remigiusz Dulko comes from Oświęcim, the Polish partner district of Dachau, while Fabian Oppolzer is rooted in the Aichach region. The exhibition continues the dialogue of the German-Polish district partnership in an artistic manner. Cultural education arises here through direct viewing, comparing, and conversing before the originals.
Art Experience at the Altomünster Museum
Visitors can expect an exhibition where light, material, color, and spatial effects are closely interconnected. The bronze invites contemplation of its surface and plastic tension, while Oppolzer's painting opens imaginative experiential spaces. Thus, an aesthetic experience is created that touches upon art-historical questions as well as personal associations.
Conclusion: Art Connects Beyond Borders
Painting & Sculpture in Dialogue offers a concentrated art experience between contemporary painting, figurative bronze sculpture, and German-Polish memorial culture. Those who want to experience how different media open new perspectives on human closeness, history, and cultural understanding should definitely visit the exhibition live at the Altomünster Museum.
