Low Density Dwelling Unit with Methane Tanks in Carboniferous Period Setting

This oil portrait of a country house named by its owner "Judge Dee" is a bit sketchy in areas, but left so by the artist deliberately, as they wanted to free themself from the shackles that the demon of perfectionism imposes on so many struggling artists. Since the client in this case was fictitious and identical with the contractor, it was easy to reach mutual satisfaction and declare the painting an artistic, if not commercial, success.

Note that this painting is the result of a process of emigration to the essentially free and unbound realms of Poe's Nothingness, even though it assumes topicality by incorporating and putting forward climate-saving technology. It deals with the problems with climate unfriendly methane plaguing our wasteful society. Methane here takes the form of "clean", renewable cooking gas produced by the bacterial decomposition of (fictitious) human waste, mixed with the stool of an assortment of hypothetical pets. This gas is not really "clean", merely repurposed and relabeled, and great investments in absolutely airtight tanks are crucial to prevent that odourless gas from escaping into the atmosphere and further heat up this planet's already antediluvian climate. Climate spies equipped with very expensive special cameras will regularly inspect these tanks, and record all escaping methane in beautiful false colour images and films.

If cooking is not practiced and heating in general superfluous, there are further uses:

CH4 Uses (Methane)

It is used in automobiles, ovens and water heater as a fuel.
It is used in the generation of electricity.
It is used as rocket fuel in its refined liquid form.
It is used as an antifreeze ingredient in industries.
It is a common ingredient in fertilizer.
It is used to sanitize products.

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.

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...

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 (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 eventua...
