thought-provoking images that make audience question their everyday lives. artists subjects deal with everything from social media to politics to poverty, and all have a very distinct message if you look closely enough...
I'm a fan of these paintings. I think the one that really hit me the most was that butcher petting the cat whilst all the other farm animals were watching and waiting to be slaughtered eventually.
True that and now that you got me thinking, the clock digging a grave is extremely profound even more so than the other paintings as it goes back to the root which is all biological organisms are doomed to end up as worm-food. As you point out in your above post, its just a matter of time.
Genius painting IMO as it speaks in volumes in regards to the human condition. Being aware of the unavoidable.

There will likely be escape of biological limits by the psyche, with some people at the body´s end swapping their neural base against an artifical bearing. - And they will probably even dispose of sensational impulses. Possibly kindly asking you to push their orgasm button while you are passing by. Just sayin´.
I feel like if I had any painting skills it wouldn't be so hard. How 'bout one where crap is pouring out of a TV screen and people with skulls open exposing no brain are shoving the crap into their mouths. I'll name it. "People mindlessly eat the s*** that spews out of their television." It could be a radio too I guess....
Here's another one, an enormous record executive in a suite with wads of cash in his hand taking a big dump on people playing instruments who are emaciated.
The first one alludes to videos made by jeehad berserks who like to cut off heads before cameras. Here possibly translating like:"We will be playing terrible music if you won´t donate."
The second one seems to indicates a piano concert wired per transmission lines which serve as piano strings in the same time.
