Time = Energy Model (False-cypress, plywood, plexi-glass and waxed string, 70.5cm x 45cm x 10.5cm, Dirk Marwig 2014) Dirk Marwig: “I have always been obsessed with the concept of “Time”(‘Zeit’, in German)- It’s behaviour and inconsistencies. I believe that ‘Time’ is Energy and that like all other Energies can somehow (in the future) be fully understood and positively applied. But seeing just how sluggish mankind is…. this will take a while!” https://dirkmarwig.com/ BIO: Dirk Marwig (German; 30 May 1960) is a German multifaceted artist (painter, creator and maker of “Objects” and Constructions, designer and crafter of furniture and jewelry; an autodidactic ”Jack of all Trades and the Master of Many”) born in Bochum, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Dirk Marwig represents the ‘complete’ artist, a modern renaissance man, his art being a lesson in lysergic geometry, a continuous, a subtle yet energetic ‘back and forth’ between Reason and Unreason, always sublimely surprising, entertaining and dazzling the spectator, always questioning the Status Quo. Dirk Marwig art differs from most of his contemporaries in that he does not rely on a single, specific, easy to recognize and repetitive “Formula” or “Recipe” to express his ideas. Repetition is not part of his repertoire. He works by himself in order to keep the ‘result’ a pure work of his. Risk, the search for novelty and the challenge that comes with it, in combination with gutsy trust in his own basic instincts form part of his process. To confuse and to surprise himself and therefore his audience is how Dirk Marwig achieves and maintains a high level of freshness and childlike innocence in his work. His art is therefore in a constant state of evolution. Coming in contact with his work, characteristics such as the unusual technique, the handcrafted perfection, the attention to detail, texture and composition, the format, the humor or the tragedy, the hidden mathematics and creative geometry with exquisite use of color combined with an eternal humanistic “Theme”, astound and baffle the spectator.
