Airport (High pigment lacquer on plywood inlay, 62cm x 62cm, Dirk Marwig 2014)

This painting shows how to ‘construct’ an irregular heptagon on the basis of the ‘Golden Rectangle’. Even if this is an irregular 7 sided polygon(irregular heptagon) there is an intrinsic feeling of harmony and balance that can only be explained by the continuous use of the ‘Golden Section’. Every corner and every intersection of each line can be endlessly connected to another corner or line, the grid getting smaller or larger maintaining total congruency. -If you look at it long enough the ‘lines’ start jumping out at you in 3D and the spaces shift and shake uncontrollably!
