ORIWAKO (Oil on wood panel, 91.5cm x 61cm, Dirk Marwig 2016)

ORIWAKO

This painting was in my studio for more than a year and yesterday I finished it adding the last few essentials it needed. While I was working on it the name “Oriwako” kept going through my mind. I later looked

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

“I Will Always See You” (Chinese ink and gesso on paper, mounted on plywood, 76.8cm x 54.5cm, Dirk Marwig 2016)

I Will Always See You

This photo shows the entire painting: The “outside” edges are perfectly ‘squared’ but the ‘paper part’ is “off” on purpose.

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

Phenomenon

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

Rewind, Right There! (Oil and ink on Japan-paper mounted on plywood, 47.6cm x 42.8cm, Dirk Marwig 2015)

Rewind, Right There!

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

Can’t Hear (Acrylic on canvas, 148cm x 241.5cm, Dirk Marwig 2015)

Can't Hear

I don’t really like to paint very large paintings(for many reasons- ‘space’ being one of them) but for my birthday I ‘treated myself to this one! It was necessary.

Airport (High pigment lacquer on plywood inlay, 62cm x 62cm, Dirk Marwig 2014)

Airport

This painting shows how to ‘construct’ an irregular heptagon on the basis of the ‘Golden Rectangle’. Even if this is an irregular 7 sided polygon(irregular heptagon) there is an intrinsic feeling of harmony and balance that can only be explained

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

ZWISCHENWELT  detail A

This is a detail of “Zwischenwelt” from 1993. I think that it is appropriate to publish this painting again for this reason: I find it interesting that all these airplanes in the past few days, weeks and months have gone

Resonance (Oil on Japan-Paper mounted off centre on white plywood square, 48.3cm x 48.3cm, Dirk Marwig 2011)

Resonance New!

This is a gift to Nadim Amar. This little painting was in my “unfinished work” box for 3 years until I mounted it on a square (painted white) piece of plywood (but not in the centre) just like you see
