"What prevents these paintings from being mere cartoons is their dreamlike weirdness. And Bryan?s other paintings--from odd Venus figures to anthropomorphic tornadoes to skyscrapers dragged across a plain, ancient-Egypt-style, by thousands of slaves--continue the dreamy aura. If you like to linger in the morning and try to recall the images in your mind before they evaporate, chances are you?ll like Bryan?s work."

I love the art style! The politics itself are a bit.. well, it's art.
