Untitled 2016 copy

This is the result of the repetition of the same ‘free-form’ 26 times over. The 1st sequence of 13 being the full colour spectrum connected to the 2nd sequence of ‘the white to medium grey’ spectrum (also 13). After this

Concept of “FOLDED” and showing the “Flatness” of “FOLDED” on my work patio. Dirk Marwig 2016

Flatness

The concept of “FOLDED” was to show the “Glorification of the complete mundane”. The 3D effect is just an ‘effect’ used as a ‘vehicle’ to convey the concept but not as being the concept of the piece in itself. That

Reach You With My Mind (Oil on plywood-irregular pentagon shape, 45.5cm x 71.8cm, Dirk Marwig 2016)

Reach You With My Mind A

This painting looks like as if it has been photographed close-up style with a ‘wide angle macro’ lens. But it’s not. This is what the painting actually looks like when photographed from a straight-on position. The irregular pentagon shape is

Mediterranean Chic -different angle- (Shaped plywood object with oil, 41cm x 80cm x 25.5cm, Dirk Marwig 2016)

Mediterranean Chic  2nd angle

This was fun to photograph. It has so many cool angles because of the ‘shape’ and ‘bend’ given to the plywood. On top of that the distorted lines with 2 external “flight points” which correspond to the ‘essence’ or flow
