A BIG THANK YOU!

A big “THANK YOU ” to my 4 collectors who make my life a whole lot easier, much more pleasant and with your support I can continue to create. (you know who you are so I don’t have to mention your names! Besides being ‘anonymous’ has it’s advantages sometimes)
You have “vision”, culture, great taste and most of all you do not rely on the opinions of “others” in the twisted “art world”( wishy-washy curators, gallery owners and half witted critics) when buying my work. You understand the value because you understand the importance of good art in our brutal “philistine” culture/world where my art plays a counter part. Thank you!

Headdress for the Divine Benevolent -side view- (Wearable plywood object with nylon string and high pigment lacquer, 78cm x 75cm x 82cm, Dirk Marwig 2015)

This is the semi-side back view of “Headdress for the Divine Benevolent.” It’s like Cinderella’s shoe: it will fit only the person to whom it is intended. I made this for my girlfriend for her birthday, only to wear for ceremonies, of course. Visionary.

Headdress for the Divine Benevolent -5 angles- (Wearable plywood object with nylon string and high pigment lacquer, 78cm x 75cm x 82cm, Dirk Marwig 2015)

Here are just 5 angles of this cool headdress. There are so many more. To wear it you must be a divine benevolent or at least aspire to be one!

Manolo-Litho (Cedar and plywood construction with enamel, 164cm x 43cm x 24.5cm, Dirk Marwig 2015)

My art always seems to look like comic or cartoon-ish versions of ideas that I carry with me all the time. I often ask myself the question if what I do is the work of an imbecile or the opposite. This object shows what I meant in the last sentence! The bottom plywood pieces are 19 “Golden Rectangles”, the size relating to the height of the cedar.

Dyslexika-Separation-Rejection -side view,looking down- (Plywood, Plexiglass + String construction, 80cm x 58cm x 29cm, Dirk Marwig 2014)

New Photo of: Dyslexika-Separation-Rejection -side view,looking down- (Plywood, Plexiglass + String construction, 80cm x 58cm x 29cm, Dirk Marwig 2014)
* This strange object depicts the title: Dyslexia-Separation-Rejection.(I wrote “DYSLEXIKA”…) -The story of my life, since I’m dyslexic. But this has advantages (sometimes) because I get to see the world in a different way.

Cartography, Organic, Random -Super detail- (Oil on plywood, 94.5cm x 75.7cm, Dirk Marwig 2013)

I’m showing a super close-up of the lower left overpopulated area close to the sea Of the painting from 2013 “Cartography, Organic, Random”. Originally I wanted to cover the whole painting with over-populated zones but that would have taken the rest of my mental sanity.

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

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)

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.
