I like the fact that it looks like a collage even though everything is painstakingly painted. How long does a work like that take?
This one also makes me think of the video game Bioshock Infinite, which was full of all sorts of crazy mechanical contrivances. The whole Bioshock video game franchise was influenced by (as much as it was critical of) Ayn Rand's hyper-optimistic objectivism, with all that art deco metallic futurism and symbols of machinery and progress.
My Wife could speak a lot more intelligently to this. She's got the art history degree (but I've played more video games.)
