The painting, Swimmer has been featured in the Tenth year anniversary issue of [email protected] the Journal of European Literature, Culture and the Environment. Vol 11 No 2 (2020): 2020 Ecocriticism: In Europe and Beyond.
“A more immersive and phenomenological experience of the environment and its materiality is instead the subject of the work of our second contributor, Michael Markwick. One of Markwick’s dramatic paintings was on the cover of the issue of [email protected] to “Green Countercultures” (2013). Here, he contributes instead with a large-scale 2019 work entitled “Swimmer,” in which an abstracted skeletal figure in the upper left of the canvas is caught in a tidal wave of bright blue water and debris. As the Art editor at the time, Isabel Hoving, suggested for the 2013 work, this new painting too offers a full immersion into the environment’s overwhelming forces and, consequently, a representation of our own fragility in the nonhuman world”

Michael Markwick: Sunshine for a Long Midnight
11. Juni – 5. September 2020
The paintings in this exhibition were made during the fall of 2019 through the spring of 2020. When I began working on these paintings, I was thinking of our relationship to nature, and our age of fragility. Nevertheless, this exhibition is taking place now, and the Covid19 pandemic has filled our minds. The work in this exhibition resonates with this moment of crisis, Read more

At first, it may come as a surprise that Michael Markwick’s canvases take several months, sometimes even up to a year, to complete. This element of surprise is fueled by a historically grown default assumption that surrounds abstract art Read more …
Damian Dombrowski -Michael Markwick: Natur und Zeit
Beim Wort ‚Naturereignis‘ denken wir rasch an Gewaltiges, Außerordentliches, oft auch Bedrohliches oder Erschütterndes – an eine Sonnenfinsternis vielleicht, an Erdbeben und Wirbelstürme oder an das Krachen, das einen abbrechenden Gletscher begleitet. Ein Naturereignis ist aber zunächst einmal nichts anders als Natur, die sich ereignet; das tut sie freilich immer, weil sie dauerhaft im Werden und Vergehen begriffen ist. Der Begriff umfasst also doch mehr, nämlich einen Betrachter, dem sie sich als Ereignis zeigt, und eine zeitliche Begrenzung dieses Sich-Ereignens. Ein Naturereignis ist vor allem Natur-Erscheinung, die das schauende Erleben im Vorübergang voraussetzt. Mehr Lezen
