I don't see him challenging the norms, so I'm gonna guess "no". It seems to be that his art is a dime a dozen sort of low quality crap. Crap is in itself unsurprising -- most of everything is, see Sturgeon's Law -- but what's surprising is the amount paid for such low quality, low effort crap.

No sign of norms being challenged here.

Of course it’s low quality, but so is Pussy Riot or any equivalent leftist “art”.

Surely the author of the article felt that drawing a “black dude” etc was un-woke?

I'm not sure what you mean by leftist art but, in general, I'm going to disagree with you.

I think the author of the article felt the art was generally crap and that the amount paid for it was surprising, a sentiment with which I agree.
