With blocks of colour and gradient skies, Ruschas imagery is bold and cartoon like. This is what makes his work easily identifiable as his own. His style of creating surrealist landscapes covered with propaganda like text, which in reality says nothing but nonsense and is seemingly unrelated to the image which it is placed upon. Although I am more interested in the composition and colour of Ruschas work I still like the juxtaposing forms of the images and text.
The composition of these to images isn't dissimilar, in the sense that they both feature very flat layers, which create an aesthetic of 2D images layered like stacked paper. This is seemingly done by giving the "layers" different lighting or colours. For example the bottom image shows a very red sky, contrasting against the white/grey concrete building in front of it. In reality the bright red sky would cast a red hue onto objects beneath it. This difference in colour and lighting give a surreal and alien feel to the atmospheres within the images.
