# Neue Slowenische Kunst carries the structure and Sots Art appears as the accent.
# Style descriptors only. This prompt names no artist, studio, brand or work.

Produce four original images that take their structure from Neue Slowenische Kunst (style, 1984–) and their accent from Sots Art (style, 1970s–1980s).

## What to make

Make the kind of thing Neue Slowenische Kunst exists for: critiquing power by over-performing its visual language instead of simply standing outside it, or uniting music, stage, graphics, and exhibition as a fictional institution. Choose one subject and hold it across all four.

## Structure comes from Neue Slowenische Kunst

- Monumental symmetry in black, red, and gold
- Eagles, crosses, gears, mountains, and flags as power emblems
- Quotation of classical painting, Socialist Realism, and avant-garde imagery
- Industrial music, uniform, manifesto, and state documents as one total work

Composition: Place emblem and figure on a central axis, tightening authority with symmetrical frame, flags, and dark space. Type and lettering: Separate monumental serif capitals from small bureaucratic document type.

## Accent comes from Sots Art, used sparingly

- Exact quotation of red flags, stars, leaders, and workers
- Slogans beside advertising-like flat design
- Heroic pose colliding with an everyday object or void
- Poster-restricted red, white, black, and gold

Let one material quality come from it: Use smooth oil or poster printing in red, white, black, and gold and cite the quotation.

## Colour and feeling

Build the ground on #B5964B, carry the structure in #982B27 and #171616, and let a single accent come from #B32627. These are read off real works, so a direction rather than a fixed palette.
Feeling to carry: rebellion, exhilaration, trust, play.

## Where they fight

- Neue Slowenische Kunst and Sots Art both belong to Modern and Contemporary Art Movements, so the difference is small. Push the roles further apart than feels comfortable.

## What goes wrong

- Neue Slowenische Kunst: Do not use totalitarian signs as unexplained decoration. Cite every source and state the former Yugoslav and over-identification contexts.
- Sots Art: Do not consume Soviet imagery as amusing retro decoration. Distinguish it from Socialist Realism and explain censorship and unofficial art.

## Across the four

Keep the roles fixed in all four. Vary the framing, the scale and the arrangement so the set shows what this pairing can do rather than four versions of one picture.

## Constraints

- Do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work.
- Do not reproduce the composition of an existing work.
- Produce original compositions in the general period languages described above.
