Klondike (Maplewood, 29.5cm x 55.5cm x 3.4cm, Dirk Marwig 2013)

Klondike

“I cut 336 ‘golden ratio’ rhombi, laying them out in sets of 3, then distributing them into 16 columns and 7 rows (according to thickness), then reversed 1/3 of 4 rows(thin to thick) and when the 5th row came along i reversed the process column-wise to create this ‘positive to negative, midway ‘Flip’ + transition’ object.”

Mind Cleaner (Oil on canvas, 122cm x 244cm, Dirk Marwig 2008)

Mind Cleaner

“I just found the file of “Mind Cleaner” from 2008-this painting wasn’t on the site, I don’t know why. It’s a big painting that i made to clean my mind of all noise- to look at it really relaxes you because of it’s size, the seemingly simple lines, the monochrome titanium white with the mix of cobalt and ultra-marine blues and the impeccable execution with thousands of little brush strokes. I painted the whole “thing” with a small #6 brush! I really love this one because it’s so ‘Clean'(It was a pain in the ass though to photograph)”
