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

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

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)

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)

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)

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)

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

A Landscape for the Pyromaniac (Oil on plywood, 23cm x 59.3cm, Dirk Marwig 2014)

My mother always told me when I was young : “Why don’t you just paint landscapes? People would buy them and you could make lots of money.” -Well here’s a landscape for you! 🙂 This painting shows the view of

Alles ist Gut -old work, I had just turned 21 when I painted this- (Oil on canvas, 30cm x 40cm, Dirk Marwig 1981)

“I found this at my mothers house when I travelled to Germany in 2013. I had just turned 21 when I painted it. This little painting shows my extreme frustration in dealing with this world, the same frustration I still

When the Politician Speaks (Oil on burlap on plywood, 21.3cm x 68.8cm, Dirk Marwig 2014)

*As you can see the Politician never says anything. It’s all just deceptive rhetoric! A self serving ‘This Way’ / ‘That Way’. Always bamboozling the public/population, using generic “LINES” and meaningless phrases that carry no intention, truth or wisdom.
