Are the McDonalds and KFC signs supposed to be ironic or are they genuine ads? It's such an odd thing to include.

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).
