He does a wonderful job of capturing light. It reminds me a lot of the work that Edward Hopper did.

The use of color, though, is interesting. There is a vibrancy to the scenes, a warmth, despite the fact that all of these works touch on one of the most horrendous periods of indigenous inequity in modern history. Perhaps this was intentional...? Perhaps this is meant to add something palatable to a subject most would rather ignore, sweep under the rug...? Perhaps this is his way of encouraging people to never forget how ugly the past is, by combining visual narrative themes on the evils of human nature with color and light motifs that convey a sense of inviting warmth...?

If this is the case, then it's a brilliant expression of the craft. Forcing the mind to accept opposing intellectual and emotional inputs in one go will actually inspire deeper contemplation, providing that cognitive dissonance doesn't set iin and the viewer rejects acknowledging history in favor of the easier option of appreciating the style and technique alone.
