This is just an elementary stage of brainstorming. From this bunch of linear-drawing expressions, I've developed an illusion about Kowloon Walled City based on some academic references. But this is just an abstract drawing. Afterwards, I will focus on the subject matter of Kowloon Walled City and explore the humanistic episodes of this triple non-administered region. It will be a figurative approach as similar as the grotesqueness of George Grosz and Max Beckmann.

2. Reference: Paul Ryan – Mixed Media
Sketchbook
• Rational episode / manuscript on the left page,
sentimental episode on the right page

3. Step 1: Imitation
• Experimental drawing on
visual diary as similar as
Paul Ryan - Dragging of
lines
• Imitation on these four
linear-drawing examples

4. Step 1: Imitation

5. Step 2: Explorations and
transformations

6. Step 2: marker drawing on visual diary
• Forces from nature

7. Step 2: marker drawing on visual diary
• Confusion of electrical power released from the digital world

8. Step 2: marker drawing on visual diary
• Celebrative energies
from circuses,
amusement parks
and concerts

9. Step 2:
marker
drawing on
visual diary
• Forces from
the decaying
of natural
substances in
deep autumn

10. Stage 3: The study on graphic art
• From nonchalant dragging motions in a non-objective art
manner to a representation of subconscious vision with
composition
– Example: exhibits from “The Weight of Lightness: Ink Art at M+”

11. “History of Modern Graphic Art” by
Wolf Stubbe
• “Concrete art” and autonomous graphic art
– Immaterial qualities:
1.Slackness
2.Tenseness
3.Denseness
4.Diffuseness
• Medium: Oil-pastel on paper

12. Wolf Stubbe: 1. Slackness

13. Wolf Stubbe: 2. Tenseness

14. Wolf Stubbe: 3. Denseness

15. Wolf Stubbe: 4. Diffuseness

16. Stage 3.5: Rediscovery of subconscious vision while
playing with the previous bunch of linear
experimentations
• “The Midnight After”
movie – a withdrawal of
figurative elements within
a still episode
– Kowloon Walled City
• No longer being restrained
by the anti-Omicron
measures stressing a zero
tolerance on infection cases

17. Stage 3.5: Rediscovery of subconscious vision while
playing with the previous bunch of linear
experimentations  Kowloon Walled City
