Apollo (Oil on Japan-paper mounted on wood panel, 72.2cm x 63.6cm, Dirk Marwig 2015)

Apollo

Mankind has NEVER left planet Earth. It’s a nice dream but physically not possible. “Man on the moon” is a big government HOAX!
Painting is it’s own language combining all knowledge (consciously and subconsciously) which the artist has to offer to the world. I really did my best not to control anything in the process, not to think, somehow just being a “vessel” and getting lost in the process. This painting is the result combining my ideas, concepts, shapes, sounds and images reducing them to the bare minimum, tactile and ethereal at the same time. Look and understand.

T.W.I.R.P. -3 angles- (Cedar-and Bloodwood, titanium white wood-oil wash, 88cm x 31.5cm x 14cm, Dirk Marwig 2015)

TWIRP  3 angles

T.W.I.R.P. stands for: True Wisdom In Relative Paradigms. -Everything can be viewed in a different way (just like changing the lens of the the camera the subject suddenly changes it’s appearance and is replaced by a new one. One appearance is replaced by another simply by changing the lens through which the subject is observed. Philosophically speaking this applies to “Truths”, Concepts and Theories of every kind. What is considered an “absolute” Truth is therefore no longer valid. This little, annoying and ever-present TWIRP reminds you to ‘take your world of ideas’ not to seriously and to be just a little bit more “humble” because NOTHING is “ABSOLUTE”(not even the last sentence)! This object looks like something from the Past or of of the Future, something ever Present.

Rewind, Right There! (Oil and ink on Japan-paper mounted on plywood, 47.6cm x 42.8cm, Dirk Marwig 2015)

Rewind, Right There!

Subtle yet Powerful, Calculated yet Spontaneous. Elegant and Beautiful! *It’s a very sad thing that I have to “explain” my work(What happened to Culture and Education?)* -I had this piece literally flying around in my studio for 3 years. Every time I looked at it though, something ‘else’ became visible and finally today(July 3rd 2015) I decided to clean it up, mount it on a plywood board and photograph it. What a process. I nearly tossed it!

The Melancholy of our Timelines (Oil on cotton cloth mounted on plywood, 36cm x 58cm, Dirk Marwig 2015)

The Melancholy of our Timelines

I “undid” the psychological effects of the colour “green”. Can green (which is normally an emotionally positive colour) be the colour of ‘melancholy’? YES. Just look at this painting for a while and you will notice a melancholy sadness.

Henry Moore on Acid (Cherry wood object, 53.5cm x 47cm x 36.5cm, 15.8 kg, Dirk Marwig 2015)

Henry Moore on Acid

This is just 1 angle of “Henry Moore on Acid”. There are hundreds of them. Since a “trip” doesn’t have a ‘fixed point of view’, this object complies perfectly- many points of view flowing into each other, with only one trip! :)

Can’t Hear (Acrylic on canvas, 148cm x 241.5cm, Dirk Marwig 2015)

Electric Mustang (Old 25m extension cable with cable ties, 70cm x 95cm, Dirk Marwig 2015)

Mustang

*I used one old 25m long extension cable (not cutting it up), simply rolling and folding it and holding the shapes in place with cable ties. Anything can be transformed into something timeless and beautiful just with a little love and time. I began in the middle (where the eye is) and worked my way to the outside (lower left). It’s like a quick sketch/drawing-but done with a semi rigid material, a flowing maze by the work of a crazy person(which I have to be, I guess). ELECTRIC! Screw the ‘philistines’ of this world!
