The main interest is the volume of the bulbous, three-legged copper pot. Dea Murk does everything he can to reinforce this impression. Where it requires to create even more plasticity, the artist uses applied highlight. Colors are determined by the subject.<\/p><p>Even in his last works, the figurative form of representation has not completely disappeared from his artistic work. Despite all this, it is not painting that is representational in the true sense of the word, through which the artist attempts to communicate. Relatively early he found an independent expression \/ style, which was to prove quite typical for him in time.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>In 1970 Dea Murk was engaged in the design of the 14 Stations of the Cross in the Heiligkreuz Church in Chur. Eight years later, there are similar basic considerations of his executed mural on the building of the civil defense facility Meiersboden in Chur. The problem of danger, of destruction is presented in a many-limbed composition accentuated by two ribbon elements running down slightly diagonally and colorfully stark.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-a4640f4\" data-id=\"a4640f4\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-36addb6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"36addb6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"823\" src=\"https:\/\/mli7lts3c1ap.i.optimole.com\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:avif\/https:\/\/deamurk.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/tat-bio-2.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-937\" alt=\"art-lithography-printing-dea-murk\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3497672 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"3497672\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-9be7f89 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-min-height elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9be7f89\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-f91a34d\" data-id=\"f91a34d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-796bb54 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"796bb54\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"670\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/mli7lts3c1ap.i.optimole.com\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:avif\/https:\/\/deamurk.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/tat-bio-5.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-936\" alt=\"art-artist-rehearsals-dea-murk\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-78d10b1\" data-id=\"78d10b1\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-050785d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"050785d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Numerous lithographs, reproductions and original works by Dea Murk are today the memory of the great artist in the Rhine Valley of Chur.<\/p><p>Through a large number of exhibitions in the Chur area, he was able to win over many art enthusiasts.<\/p><p>Today his house in Chur represents the modern art gallery, where his greatest works decorate the walls.<\/p><p> <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DEA MURK AS ARTIST The beginnings of the son of a civil servant in M\u00fcstair, Switzerland, born in May 1932, ran through numerous major and minor detours to art painting.
