Flop World

Confined to the bed and sofa after a terrible “quadriceps tendon rupture” and the following surgery 2 weeks ago (I slipped and fell awkwardly while trying to collect a watering hose on the granite rock in my backyard- in a way funny!), the only thing I can do now is draw. All other projects have come to a halt. Bummer.

Untitled 2016 copy

This is the result of the repetition of the same ‘free-form’ 26 times over. The 1st sequence of 13 being the full colour spectrum connected to the 2nd sequence of ‘the white to medium grey’ spectrum (also 13). After this each new composed ‘unit’ (13 in all) is connected to the next unit with the exact same ‘positioning’ until a full circle is achieved. Now something happens that I cannot explain (yet). My feeling tells me that it’s something interesting.

Concept of “FOLDED” and showing the “Flatness” of “FOLDED” on my work patio. Dirk Marwig 2016

Posted on March 20, 2016 by admin
Flatness

The concept of “FOLDED” was to show the “Glorification of the complete mundane”. The 3D effect is just an ‘effect’ used as a ‘vehicle’ to convey the concept but not as being the concept of the piece in itself. That would be too easy or conventional. Anyone could do this.

Folded (Oil on plywood, 58cm x 70cm, Dirk Marwig 2016)

Folded

-This Painting/Object is about finding beauty and coolness in something totally mundane and insignificant: the random little piece of math paper, “folded” and “discarded” (enlarged 700% and painted on a flat, thin and shaped plywood board).

Old but cool work from 1995! ‘Untitled’ 1995 (Oil chalk and watercolour on thick paper, 49.5cm x 67.5cm, Dirk Marwig 1995)

PAPER SCULPTURE SHOW INVITATION - Version 2 copy

An example from 1995 of how my mind processes geometry. I see this image of one of my earlier works and wonder how I managed this. This one seems so simple but if you try to reconstruct it exactly the way it appears, the mind starts to boil! The result transcends simple geometry.
