Dirk Marwig 1984 New York City- 3 Watercolours (Lost and Found Situation!)

Paintings Dirk Marwig 1984 NYC

3 photos of watercolour paintings of mine from 1984 -(I was 23)- that an art collector from New Jersey sent to me last week. He wanted to know the story behind them. The main story behind these paintings is that I was never paid for these pieces( somehow they were left in storage by my ex-girlfriend) but they have since then changed “hands” several times until this collector bought them recently (from one of these “hands”) and contacted me(via this website) for provenance reasons.Lost and Found!

The same concept as “Homage to the amazing Number 7” using damaged restwood that would normally go into the garbage. Thank you.

Homage to the amazing Number 7 (Recycled patio table top and oil, 25cm x 47.5cm x 48cm, Dirk Marwig 2019)

Amazing Number 7

The amazing number 7 -look up the meaning and significance of this number! For this object I used an old wooden patio table top and constructed 15 regular Heptagons cut at an angle(so that they would not be flat) then stacked and glued them together according to size (from small to large). So simple but not.

My plywood Sofa #1 (Dirk Marwig 1995, Madrid, Spain)

Dirk Marwig Sofa at 09.35.48

Dirk Marwig: SOFA 1 (Plywood construction: 4 interconnecting pieces of plywood, 1995)
*I made this in 4 days! (photo taken in my living room in Madrid, Spain) -As you can see I had no furniture. This “sofa” consists of 4 interconnecting parts that can easily be taken apart-no screws…

Dirk Marwig: A thought about 1=2

Thinking about 1=2

I derive my mathematical conclusions through in-depth meditation mostly in the evenings usually ‘on’ some kind of “stimulant”.
My observation: 1(one)exists only in a “unit”(which consists of “more” than 1(one)= 1+(a complimentary 1)
Nothing is ALONE or a “ONE TIME” thing/event…
In observing nature: 1(one)-even the snowflake!-(that we think is “unique” -or one of a kind-) cannot be determined/calculated or defined as a ‘definite ‘one time’ “occurrence”. It is all very relative to time, location , temperature…)
Mankind only makes assumptions and mathematics therefore is only a calculative speculation tool heralded as TRUTH by our reigning Status Quo society.
Mankind has to move on and trust “gut instinct”(which, by the way, our schools discourage!).
“1”cannot exist by itself- it needs another (similar)”1” to Survive or to Prosper.
So: 1=(at least) is more than “1”

1=2 is an brutal mathematical exaggeration of occurrences in nature- therefore: faulty, but somewhat imaginable or “somewhat Faulty” but not totally! -it could be possible-(at least “once”!!!!)
So, one (1) could equal Two(2)
1=2
