Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy

Look at a brutalist office edifice with sustainable cooling scheme, dedicated to the established best practice of social work and the prevention of social disintegration by all forms of deviancy, including chronic fatigue.

"The Three Strategies of Huang Shigong" drawing &#xa9 2022 by Torsten Slama
The Three Strategies of Huang Shigong (Pencil, colored pencil, acrylics on paper, 65 x 50 cm)



 
Antitransgressive prevent strategy has three specific objectives: respond to the ideological challenge of deviancy and the threat we face from those who promote it, prevent people from being drawn into deviancy and ensure they are given appropriate advice and support, work with sectors and institutions where there are risks of radicalisation (hot spots, suburban abandoned areas, et al.)

See how the sculptures of three modes of transportation - (steam powered, bodily propulsion by legs, petrol based motorized solution) are forming an allegory of adaptability and the value of "getting out of the comfort zone", to achieve better social results which will all eventually end in failure due to entropy which besets the universe and is totally against all human endeavours to create stable ("sustainable") solutions. See also that the tricycle of the Dion et Bouton type is meant to be an immovable sculpture, bolted to the pavement, just as the Greek Riace bronze warrior is only a mass-market die-cast full scale model of one of two actual sculptures, found in 1972 in the sea near Riace, Calabria, of an actual and organic bearded warrior, and the Engine on the roof is also just a light-weight, plastic replica in slightly reduced scale. This is all architectural art of the Kunst am Bau variety, later added to the stark and elegant brick edifice which in its purer form served purer functions, supposedly.

Please note that this drawing is not only in actual execution, but also in reproduction of only middling quality. This reflects a remark by an actual social worker "social work is always and in all forms dedicated to failure". In fact, even though in rough form, the drawing includes and merges all sorts of painterly and graphic techniques. If the artist was a Norman Rockwell this should mean that the work was supposed to shine in photographic reproduction, but this was achieved in this case, due to inferior photographic equipment and lack of photographic expertise on the photographer's side.

Le Comte Ory / Expectation and Trepidation / The Great God Pan

 This image would need no further comment, if the idea of the comment was merely to describe or amplify that what is shown in the image. What is shown lies on a plane where laughter, sighs, and giggles reign. A poem or song would be better suited to accompany this drawing of the salon or bidet variety. "Le Comte Ory", pencil on pink letter paper (A4) The artist feels however inclined to add that the scenery depicted has very little to do with the Comte Ory storyline of Verdi's opera buffa, but is indeed showing members of a dance troupe passing the night in a castle unwillingly offered to them as a shelter for the night by an oddly motivated aristocratic owner, who is torn between his own ingrained hospitality and the knowledge that harm will befall his guests because the castle is also claimed as a hunting ground for young female victims by his vampiric brother, who, being undead, naturally has no legal claim tho the castle, inherited by his surviving brother. The drawin...

Chinese Landscape with Water Flow Research Institute

Chinese Landscape with Water Flow Research Institute, oil on ready-to-use “Stylex” canvas w/ stretcher, 30×40 cm The ancient art of Chinese Landscape Painting aims for an air of universal completeness and peace, materializing the desire for the Chinese Empire to reign eternally and timelessly. A painting is not complete if it does not bring together the hard, the fluid, the gaseous: rock (the mineral world), water, sky (air, fog). Living organisms are either part and fixed outgrowth of the solid, mineral world, i.e plants, lichens, sponges; or transient, animal or human, which are few and far between. Water is the element that flows through the image, from top to bottom, uniting all, making all into one. Never is there harsh light coming from one point, creating light and shadow. Perspective is  of the aerial type, which means things in the distance are lighter in tone, as they reach  through fog, fine mists, wafting between them and the onlooker. While this type of painting i...
