Pretty sure that the environment (and corporate logos) were just painted as they existed. This painting seems more like a technical flex/exercise rather than a commentative one with a particular message or theme.
Was posted by the artist, and has a few comments and replies remarking on the process and time investment (~10 hours) https://old.reddit.com/r/painting/comments/tq8jvy/shanghai_showers_transparent_watercolor_on_paper/

It's still a weird thing to include. I wonder if those restaurants are even there? Or were there when he took the picture or whatever.
Why would they be weird? They're everywhere.
Must just be me. I think it's weird to put ads in art (except when it's ironic like in pop art).
