When painting and sculpture come into conversation
In the Museum Altomünster, the works of Polish sculptor Remigiusz Dulko from Oświęcim/Auschwitz and Aichach painter and writer Fabian Oppolzer meet. The exhibition Painting & Sculpture in Dialogue connects two independent artistic positions to create an intense art experience about form, material, memory, and cultural encounters.
A dialogue between surface, body, and space
The curatorial principle of the exhibition lies in the immediate juxtaposition of painting and sculpture. Color fields, lines, and image rhythms collide with volumes, surfaces, and the spatial presence of bronze. In the viewing of the works, an aesthetic experience emerges that sharpens perception of proportion, materiality, and movement.
The exhibition atmosphere thrives on productive contrasts. Where painting opens up inner spaces and works with color sounds, the sculptures set physical accents. Visitors experience how perception changes in space and how art can initiate a dialogue across media and national borders.
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 been working with bronze. His figurative works revolve around human relationships, spirituality, sensuality, memory, and the relationship between the sacred and the mundane.
In Altomünster, Dulko's bronze works unfold their effect through mass, gesture, light, and interspace. The traditional technique of lost-wax casting combines artisanal precision with plastic intensity. Each sculpture asserts its own body while simultaneously challenging the surrounding space.
Fabian Oppolzer: Painting between image and narrative
Fabian Oppolzer, born in 1984 in Stuttgart, studied history, theology, and comparative literature in Vienna. Since 2017, he has been working as a visual artist, combining his painting practice with literary and cultural studies thinking. His works include realistic portraits as well as imaginative, dreamlike worlds in which the familiar and the foreign merge.
In dialogue with Dulko's sculptures, Oppolzer's painting gains additional spatial tension. Color harmony, line, and composition respond to the physicality of bronze. The juxtaposition makes differences visible and uses them as a basis for a deeper examination of works between painting, sculpture, and cultural education.
Art as a connection across borders
The exhibition also possesses a cultural-historical and social dimension. Remigiusz Dulko comes from Oświęcim, the Polish partner district of Dachau, while Fabian Oppolzer is from the region. The exhibition thus continues the German-Polish connection in an artistic encounter. Art appears as a space for exchange where historical experiences, personal imagery, and different cultural perspectives come into relationship.
The Museum Altomünster connects the special exhibition with its historical surroundings and its permanent exhibition on the Altomünster Monastery and the Bridgettine Order. This creates a multilayered exhibition atmosphere between contemporary art, culture of remembrance, and regional cultural heritage.
Conclusion: An art experience for curious eyes
Painting & Sculpture in Dialogue promises an immediate encounter with two independent artistic positions. Bronze sculptures by Remigiusz Dulko meet the painterly and literary sensitivity of Fabian Oppolzer. Anyone wanting to experience color, form, material, and history in the aesthetic experience of the original should definitely visit this exhibition at the Museum Altomünster live.
