Paintings: Things From Space


"Village Church with Flying Saucer" by Mark Bryan
Part of the "Things From Space" series.

Mark Bryan juxtaposes pop-culture elements with classical scenery in this series of paintings that explores themes of invasion.  The series depicts a  dystopian future in which the Earth is under attack by flying saucers and robots.  Fighting back against the invaders are the likes of the Mona Lisa in a space helmet and Hello Kitty piloting a giant robot.  Bryan’s artwork stands out both for being visually distinctive and highly amusing.
