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

* When I finish a piece like this one I feel fortunate. It unlocks something special(in myself, at least). What you see is full of contradictions that coexist harmoniously, creating a level that is foreign and known to us simultaneously.

Untitled Construction 2015 (Cedar and plywood, 113.5cm x 73.5cm x 23.5cm, Dirk Marwig 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.

2 ‘Amaze 2015’ wood block prints -one in red, the other in blue- I then added a red ‘Simplex’ print and put it in the centre. Cool combo! You can stack, rotate and/or shuffle this combo-it always works.

The Deal / El Trato (Cedar wall object, 78cm x 90.5cm x 3.2cm, Dirk Marwig 2014)

-Every ‘deal'(trato in spanish) has a detailed, limited framework on which 2 parties(or more) agree upon. The framework has a distinct ‘make-up’ only known to the parties involved – all ‘outsiders’ are excluded. So the framework becomes another- the 3rd

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

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

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

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

New Balance -side view-(Free-standing “restored construction site wood” object, leather and special lacquer, 101cm x 53cm x 9cm, Dirk Marwig 2014)

This is the ‘full side view’ of “New Balance”. This “free standing” object will not fall over unless you push it! (Just like the ‘Junkie’ on the street corner wearing those New Balance runners, forever swaying but never falling over!)
