Flat and Off #2 (Oil on canvas mounted on plywood, 38cm x 48.5cm, Dirk Marwig 2008)

*This was also an experiment from 2008: I never liked medieval art- it was usually flat and basically all elements in the paintings depicting religious or feudal scenes were “off”… but somehow there was ‘something’ that did touch me in a way that I did not understand. With this little experiment I incorporated of what I found to be ‘charming’ in medieval art (the lack of perspective’, the compartmentalization, the ultramarine blue) the ‘theme’, of course, is updated. When I finish what I’m working on now I intend to build an elaborate gilded frame to finally finish this painting.
