When Painting and Sculpture Come into Conversation
The Altomuenster Museum invites you to a special art experience on January 9, 2027: In the exhibition Painting & Sculpture in Dialogue, the works of Polish sculptor Remigiusz Dulko from Oświęcim/Auschwitz and Aichach painter and writer Fabian Oppolzer meet. The showcase connects two artistic positions from Germany and Poland and makes art an experience of cross-border language.
A Dialogue Between Color, Form, and Material
The curation does not isolate painting and sculpture alongside each other. Instead, the picture plane and body, color and volume, surface and space enter into an exciting exchange. While Dulko's bronze sculptures have an impactful presence through their plasticity, weight, and materiality, Oppolzer's painting responds with color nuances, narrative hints, and open pictorial spaces.
The observation of the works thrives on this interplay. The gaze wanders from the two-dimensional composition to the three-dimensional shape, from light and shadow to relief-like surfaces and from painterly atmosphere to physical presence. This creates an aesthetic experience that invites concentrated perception and reflection on the expressive possibilities of art.
Remigiusz Dulko: Bronze, Body, and Memory
Remigiusz Dulko studied sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow, graduating with honors in 1979. Since the beginning of his artistic career, he has been working intensively with bronze and personally accompanies the process of creating his works from design to final processing.
His figurative sculptures revolve around human relationships, spirituality, memory, and the tension between the sacred and the everyday. In bronze, craftsmanship precision combines with a powerful plastic language. The surface does not merely appear smooth and finished but preserves traces of the work process and gives the figures a special inner tension.
Fabian Oppolzer: Painting with Literary Sensitivity
Fabian Oppolzer is rooted as a painter, musician, and writer in the region. For the exhibition, he has purposely aligned his paintings with Dulko's bronze art. This creates not just a mere confrontation, but a curated encounter in which colors, forms, and atmospheres react to one another.
Oppolzer's painting opens an open resonance space for perception, memory, and narrative condensation. In interplay with the sculptures, it gains an additional spatial dimension. Visitors experience how different media unveil new perspectives on body, movement, material, and meaning.
Art as a Bridge Between Dachau and Oświęcim
The exhibition possesses not only an art-historical but also a cultural-political dimension. It connects to the partnership between the Dachau district and Oświęcim and continues the German-Polish exchange through the medium of art. Two artists from different cultural backgrounds enter into a dialogue that references historical connections and translates them into a contemporary form.
This makes the exhibition a place of cultural education. It shows how painting and sculpture can bring people into conversation and overcome boundaries, even where language alone is insufficient. The calm exhibition atmosphere of the museum creates space for reflection, careful observation, and personal interpretation.
Conclusion: An Art Experience Between Color, Bronze, and Memory
Painting & Sculpture in Dialogue promises a profound work encounter between painterly openness and plastic corporeality. At the Altomuenster Museum, art enthusiasts can expect an exhibition that connects sensual perception with art-historical reflection and cultural exchange. Those who wish to experience the effect of material, space, and pictorial language firsthand should definitely visit this exhibition live.
