Dirk Gross

Dirk is a prolific painter and true artist. Watching him work in the studio makes it clear he is a veteran of the creative process. He is always experimenting with new processes, keeping his work fresh and the results show. His abstract paintings are beautiful, thoughtful and keep the viewer guessing how he made it. Dirk’s art studio is a labyrinth of art supplies, experimental work, trials and errors, unusual tools, printing presses and even priceless antique apparatuses that seem to go on and on. Dirk’s appreciation for the creative process is showcased in his studio, a true makers space - but most importantly in the gorgeous works of art that grow out it.

"Reddish light"

Earlier, when still black riders, conflagrations and dark waving flags have been in my soul realms to find, shone here and there a red.

In the dream-direction-book maybe a little bit bloodier than meant, it was the messengers of the feelings, which murmured there from the heart above.

But in spite of all this darkness there were again and again light places, as if even the blackest war banner of the freedom could not cover sun.

"Flag"

When I was a kid, I saw pictures everywhere.

In curtains, wallpaper and tiles.

In moss-covered stone groves, under huge fir trees, I wanted to live. But even for that I was not small enough.

Waving curtains made the world outside seem self-made. I learned to see through flags at that time.

Today, some banners are no longer what they once were, what they stood for.

But even through them I can still see and the world behind them "IS" self-made.

And even behind it, I can see what a great intendant is standing behind the fallen Theater curtain, applauding us.

"Swinging"

The night is not night

And Darkness is not Darkness

Death is not death

And pain is not pain

From the perspective of the other

From the perspective of being opposite

From the awareness of the Now

From the love of the heart the All is

And everything has no opposite

No alternative

Only dedication and silence

A unique, eternal sound is the swinging of the "All-that-is".
