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

Inspector (3643 plastic straws, Ash and plywood, 56.8cm x 38.3cm x 7,4cm, Dirk Marwig 2014)

Inspector New

“I love the idea of encasing and compressing plastic into a wooden structure. This piece (Inspector) gives the illusion of an architectural floor-plan being magnified or closely inspected.”

Wanna Dance? Quieres Bailar? (Foam Rubber, glue ,gesso, oil and plywood, 107cm x 45cm x 45cm, Dirk Marwig 2014)

Wanna Dance?  : Quieres Bailar?

I’m sure this is a situation that many of us have encountered:…in a club, out of your mind and suddenly someone asks you to to dance…you look at them and they look like this! hahaha. You think: “I must switch

Mind-Shift -Don’t bug me- (Standing plywood construction with gesso and Bic-pen, 35cm x 23.5cm x 10.5cm, Dirk Marwig 2014)

Mindshift

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