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

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)

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)

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)

I don’t really like to paint very large paintings(for many reasons- ‘space’ being one of them) but for my birthday I ‘treated myself to this one! It was necessary.

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

*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!

Divine (Plywood construction and high pigment lacquer, 41.2cm x 66.8cm, Dirk Marwig 2015)

Again a piece based on the “Golden Section”. The story of the odd sized, “oval/roundish” in awe of the “perfect sphere” that’s in the perfect spot!
