METAPHOR (Cedar,Plywood,Nylon”Zap-straps”+Oil, 53cm x 55cm x 16.5cm, Dirk Marwig 2012)

For this object I chose the “Hermés” logo because I like the letter “H”. Hermés in greek mythology, is the messenger of the ‘Gods’. If you examine my work closer, you will come across the “H”(letter or symbol) frequently. The

BRUCE ALWAYS POPS UP AGAIN! (Plywood construction with cotton cloth and oil, 42cm x 49.5cm x 1.7cm, Dirk Marwig 2012)

Bruce Lee always formed a big part of my life: the martial artist but much more the philosopher. I dedicated this object to him. Kitsch transformed. “Be like water” is one of Bruce Lee’s most famous quotes- I always try!

NONRONG™ Diplomat (Plywood, oil, 70cm x 16cm x 1.5cm, Dirk Marwig 2007)

-Another totally useless object. It has no function, no purpose… it simply ‘IS’ and therefore ‘it’ is a ‘NONRONG’. Like the Diplomat: Always right!
