Nerd -semi side view- (Maplewood construction, 50.5cm x 56.3cm x 7.5cm, Dirk Marwig 2017)

My work looks simple, easy, almost basic, …as if anyone could do it. -Hey, Anyone could but they don’t!. I was the FIRST PERSON to to construct, draw or paint “IT” and that IS what counts! I had the idea!
I say this because I often get comments like “Uh, I can do this!” from the clueless simple minds of the world who happen to stumble upon my ART on the net.

Nerd (Maplewood construction, 50.5cm x 56.3cm x 7.5cm, Dirk Marwig 2017)

The exact same engraving of the grid (with the ‘Golden Section’ as it’s DNA) is on the other side as well, which is characteristic of the repetitive behaviours found in the little (sometimes autistic) nerd with special powers.

The Irrelevance of Everything (Oil on cotton cloth mounted on plywood, 36.3cm x 51.6cm, Dirk Marwig 2017)

Time, Space, basically Everything is Irrelevant. Important is that you feel alive, now.

Dirk Marwig ARCHIVES: The Before and After of “Everything is only a Trick”

“Everything ing is only a Trick” from 2015 -Before and After view from the Dirk Marwig Archives-
*Everything is only a Trick (Free-standing plywood construction with titanium white oil wash, 75cm x 63cm x 14.6cm, Dirk Marwig 2015)
Here’s the ‘Trick’ : This object is perfectly balanced from the inside and that’s why it stands on any hard and level surface the way you see it in the photo. It won’t fall unless you push it. -If you look at it long enough(squinting) it even looks “embossed”! “Everything is only a Trick” carries the ‘Golden Section’ as it’s DNA.

Can’t you just picture the Dilettante at the show opening with hands in his/her pocket, posing and looking cool? hah! The slaves of fashion. Ignorant ego-trippers.
This is the side view:

The Dilettante Standing on a Shiny Floor (Pacific yellow cedar and plexiglass, 95.5cm x 21cm x 10.5cm, Dirk Marwig 2017)

Dilettante: A person who cultivates an area of interest, such as the arts, without real commitment or knowledge. In this case: The groomed, posing and ‘vogueing’ hipster standing on a shiny floor at every art gallery opening. He or she is only there to be seen, for the free drinks/cocktails/canapés and to hobnob with the “in”crowd; never to buy a piece, of course. Makes me laugh.
The photo shows both sides of the object/construction.
