Cognitive Dissonance (Bic pen on primed woodpanel, 67.5cm x 109cm, Dirk Marwig 2014)

Mindshift

Try to copy this one, pseudo intellectual low-brow Riff Raff! (you know who YOU are!)… You can’t do this one! This message is for the person(s) copying a lot of my work.

This object is dedicated to all the artifacts produced by intelligent human-like lifeforms on this planet dating back for more than 2 Billion Years. Yes 2 Billion Years! Our evolutionary timeline is very “Filtered” and therefore a faulty one. Archeological
