Phenomenon (Oil on stretched thick hardened cotton cloth, 91.5cm x 91.5cm, Dirk Marwig 2016)

This one is difficult to explain. It just happened. It freaks me out. Just look at it for a while and you’ll know why. -We always see ‘things’ but are not aware of what exactly we are witnessing until we

36 pieces from 2015 -Paintings, Objects and ‘Furniture’- A productive year for me. (Dirk Marwig, December 19th 2015)

A good year. Quality and Quantity. 36 pieces (paintings, objects, wood block prints and “furniture”) plus I stopped smoking (cold turkey style) which was probably the most difficult thing I’ve done so far. This is a photo compilation of the

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

Wuhu Island (Pigment ink on archival tape on paper, 27.3cm x 33cm, Dirk Marwig 2010)

*Turbulent Flow. An energetic Thrust caused by the vigorous Flapping of Wings in a Sky full of Obstacles. Aperture and Art. Clairvoyance when it is needed.

‘Untitled’ 1995 (Oil chalk and watercolour on thick paper, 49.5cm x 67.5cm, Dirk Marwig 1995)

An example from 1995 of how my mind loves and processes geometry. I see this image of one of my earlier works and wonder how I managed this. This one seems so simple but if you try to reconstruct it
