When Painting and Sculpture Enter into Conversation
The Museum Altomünster presents with Painting & Sculpture in Dialogue a German-Polish exhibition where the works of sculptor Remigiusz Dulko from Oświęcim/Auschwitz meet the painting of Aichach-based artist and writer Fabian Oppolzer. The exhibition opens up new perspectives on form, material, memory, and cultural encounter.
A Dialogue Between Surface, Body, and Space
The exhibition title also describes the curatorial principle: color fields, lines, and image rhythms meet the spatial presence of bronze, volume, and surface. In viewing the works, an aesthetic experience emerges that sharpens the perception of proportion, materiality, and movement.
The atmosphere of the exhibition thrives on productive contrasts. While painting opens inner spaces and works with color tones, the sculptures make physical accents. Visitors experience how two different artistic languages communicate with one another and initiate a dialogue across cultural boundaries.
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, which he graduated from with honors in 1979. He has been working with bronze for over four decades. His figurative sculptures revolve around human relationships, spirituality, sensuality, memory, and the relationship between the sacred and the mundane.
In Altomünster, Dulko's bronze works unleash their impact through mass, gesture, light, and interspace. The traditional technique of lost-wax casting combines craftsmanship precision with an intense plastic impact. Each sculpture asserts its own body while simultaneously challenging the surrounding space.
Fabian Oppolzer: Painting Between Image and Narrative
Fabian Oppolzer studied history, theology, and comparative literature in Vienna. Since 2017, he has been working as a visual artist, connecting his painting practice with literary and cultural science thinking. His works include realistic portraits as well as imaginative, dreamlike image worlds, where the known and the foreign intertwine.
In interplay with Dulko's sculptures, Oppolzer's painting gains additional spatial tension. Color tone, line, and composition respond to the physicality of bronze. The juxtaposition makes differences visible and uses them as a basis for an in-depth examination between painting, sculpture, and cultural education.
Art as a Connection Across Borders
The exhibition 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 continues the German-Polish connection in an artistic encounter and showcases art as a space for exchange.
The Museum Altomünster connects the special exhibition with its historical surroundings and its permanent exhibition on the Altomünster monastery as well as the Bridgettine Order. This results in a multifaceted artistic experience between contemporary art, culture of remembrance, and regional cultural heritage.
Conclusion: An Artistic 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. Those who want to experience color, form, material, and history in the aesthetic experience of the original should definitely visit this exhibition live at the Museum Altomünster.
