Happy Birthday,Margareta! Alles Liebe zum Geburtstag! I love mixing plexi-glass with plywood- it’s a great combination. I hope that you like it!
Wanna Dance? Quieres Bailar? (Foam Rubber, glue ,gesso, oil and plywood, 107cm x 45cm x 45cm, Dirk Marwig 2014)
I’m sure this is a situation that many of us have encountered:…in a club, out of your mind and suddenly someone asks you to to dance…you look at them and they look like this! hahaha. You think: “I must switch drugs, this does not look good, …bad trip!”

The Super Donut. Super Kitsch!
The Dance of Captivity ( 6 wooden coat hangers cut through the centre then reassembled, gold leaf and glue, 50cm x 94cm, Dirk Marwig 2014)
Three dancing girls or ballerinas that also look like a piece of barbed wire. This ‘Dance of Captivity’ can be used as a metaphor for many situations in life. It could also be a good logo for the North Korean Ballet Company! – Dedicated to Norma Duval. Legs Up and Over! Can Can. “Kitsch Tragique” !!

A Landscape for the Pyromaniac (Oil on plywood, 23cm x 59.3cm, Dirk Marwig 2014)
My mother always told me when I was young : “Why don’t you just paint landscapes? People would buy them and you could make lots of money.” -Well here’s a landscape for you! 
This painting shows the view of the burning landscape via satellite and a the panoramic view from the ground all in one.

Alles ist Gut -old work, I had just turned 21 when I painted this- (Oil on canvas, 30cm x 40cm, Dirk Marwig 1981)
“I found this at my mothers house when I travelled to Germany in 2013. I had just turned 21 when I painted it. This little painting shows my extreme frustration in dealing with this world, the same frustration I still have in dealing with everything today! “Alles ist Gut” means “Everything is good or well”… Sarcastic, of course. It also shows my love for geometry and abstraction which still forms the basis of my work. This is probably one of the very few paintings that has my name on the front- usually I sign and date on the back of the piece in order not to ruin the composition.”
Design for Silk Leggings (Oil on driftwood, 122cm x 19.5cm x 8.5cm, Dirk Marwig 2007)
“This was one of the first things I made when I moved to Vancouver,B.C. in 2007. I painted this color-combo on a piece of driftwood which I found on the beach.”
Cognitive Dissonance (Bic pen on primed woodpanel, 67.5cm x 109cm, Dirk Marwig 2014)
And yet another drawing showing my “Cognitive Dissonance”. I always try to confront this “problem” head on, taking advantage of these moments, using them constructively.

Mind-Shift -Don’t bug me- (Standing plywood construction with gesso and Bic-pen, 35cm x 23.5cm x 10.5cm, Dirk Marwig 2014)
I love working with Bic pens—It’s messy, raw, basic and spontaneous. This drawing/object brings out the cool qualities of the Bic-pen which almost every person on this planet has in their house. I need to do something like this once in a while to get me back to that ‘special’ Zone.
