Medium (Plywood construction with nylon string – kinetic object-, 65cm x 86cm x 41cm, Dirk Marwig 2014)

Medium new

I always wanted to make a ‘mobile’ or a ‘kinetic object’ with perfect balance but not with ‘wire’ because for some reason I don’t like ‘wire’. This plywood object hangs from the ceiling with a nylon string and moves, shakes

Project Reveen (Plywood construction, 182cm x 36cm x 21.5cm, Dirk Marwig 2014)

Project Reveen New Photo

The idea for ‘Project Reveen’ came to me in a flash of a second, the little drawing of what the project would look like was done in 2 minutes but the execution and finishing of the construction/object took me a

Sweet Delicate Thing (Old Drum skin, Plex-glass, Orange string + Blood wood base, 97cm x 43.5cm x 8cm, Dirk Marwig 2014)

Sweet Delicate Thing

-This object glows from the inside. It transmits a calm, warm glow; delicate,sweet and tranquil. This object again is a metaphor: The drum skin has been beaten and banged up all of it’s life to the delight and enjoyment of

Mankind (High pigment lacquer on plywood mounted on wood panel, 91.5cm x 91.5cm, Dirk Marwig 2014)

REMOVED

*Mankind” is the result of the cut up “Flop Object”(an object I worked on for a long time, but then suddenly decided to trash). I cut all the salvaged wood into perfect ‘Golden Rhombi’, then assorted all the pieces on

ZWISCHENWELT “In-between World” detail A (Oil on canvas, 100cm x 81cm, Dirk Marwig, Madrid 1993)
