Amazo-Sphere (Oil on primed cotton bath towel mounted on plywood, 53.5cm x 86cm, Dirk Marwig 2015)

Amazo-Sphere

Everything in this painting is again based on the divine proportions of the “golden rectangle”. The colours, the ‘feel’ and mood are of the rainforest. And for the first time: Op-Art that is really RELAXING!

Republic Earth (My old rags mounted on plywood, 89cm x 51cm, Dirk Marwig 2015)

Republic Earth

I used my old painting rags just the way they were with absolutely no manipulation. I only cut them into perfect strips, assorted them, reversed my particular ‘colour theory’ and mounted them on a plywood board.

The Place of Lovely Ideas (-wall object- plywood construction with oil and string, 51cm x 72.5cm x 3.5cm, Dirk Marwig 2015)

The Place of Lovely Ideas

* When I finish a piece like this one I feel very lucky. It unlocks something special. It is full of contradictions that play together and therefore reach another level altogether. The cycle of Contradiction and Juxtaposition working their magic.

Untitled Construction 2015

4 X the Fibonacci sequence of 1,1,2,3,5,8,13 and 21. The interesting beauty of math. The ‘divine angle’ 137.5º was used as reference to cut all the pieces.

Airport

Something for the Log Cabin (Plywood construction with high pigment lacquer -wall object- , 106cm x 84.3cm x 3.5cm, Dirk Marwig 2014)

Something for the Log Cabin

This wall object is a meditation piece. It’s made to relax and stimulate the mind at the same time. Something for the retreat in the log cabin in the mountains.
