What does it mean to be an individualist? What is society? Where is society headed? Renown Polish artist Pawel Kuczynski raises these and other questions in his paintings. His fascinating illustrations are gaining a lot of popularity. They depict the very essence of the issues of the modern world.

He's got a distinct painting style that's unique for him. He says he first considers every idea very thoroughly in attempt to load every image with as much meaning as possible.

Here are a few examples. The combination of humor and provocation raises a ton of inconvenient questions about the world we live in.

At the time it felt revolutionary. In retrospect it was - more than anything else - deeply cynical.

I dig that Facebook one though. Spot-on.
