'”Stairmaster” 2,7 x 2,3m commissioned to motivate people to use the stairs at the head quarters of Vasakronan (a real estate company) in Stockholm. Painted in my studio on 3 MDF-pieces. Mounted at location on the 3rd floor.' @andreasenglundart May 22, 2018

"Technique-wise, I’m drawn to the old masters—Anders Zorn’s my guy, his bold grip on light and shadow. But for ideas, it’s Banksy’s sly, subversive edge, flipping power on its head, or David LaChapelle’s staged, over-the-top worlds that mix the raw and dazzling.... Life’s messy and funny; I just paint it that way." 2025 interview https://culturalee.art/culturalee-in-conversation-with-andreas-englund/

'What was the inspiration behind the Life of the Superhero series?
I have always been inspired by the human body which led me to the world of greek classic sculpture. From there the ”modern” greek hero – the superhero originated. In my case I wanted to portray the human aspects – not being perfect and the superhero became the natural symbol to dramatize these flaws – since he is suposed to be more or less ”perfect”.
...
He is based on me and my father. He then became more personal to me and through him I can portray my own shortcomings.'

Such a barbaric torture machine. #stairmaster

"God never gives you more than you can handle" is such privileged heartless bullshit.

A Stairmaster with heart rate target really will never give you more than you can handle, however.

#Fatuous #Stairmaster #Observation

So tired of the word "fight" in the Political & Government realms.

We the People is You the Government.
There is no fighting.
UFC has fights.

We are making decisions based on the best for all, not just an individual.

We aren't choosing gladiators here.
If so:
#DiaperMan would lose in the log roll, tire flip, weighted ball throw, double-dutch, dodgeball, long jump, and the pole volt.

#Biden would win taekwondo, box jump, parkour, beatboxing, harmonica, harp, archery, and the #StairMaster🎖️

Me each time I pick a higher speed on the StairMaster:

ないだろうと信じたかった　♫ :neofox_sweat:

David Longo wins the (May) 2023 #Stairmaster Lantau men’s race in 3:16:54, ahead of CHENG Ka Sing (3:30:48) and Alexandre Reinert (3:32:07).

Women’s podium to come. Note that Eszter Csillag dropped out at the half-way mark.

Conditions today for the #Stairmaster are quite “oppressive” ahead of a cold front sweeping through with storms tomorrow. (It isn’t normally held in May, but the covid reopenings late last year created an immediate avalanche of races to be held for various reasons.)
