Symmetric things are appealing.

Also, his use of color contrast.

He's more lauded for his "design sense" than as an illustrator. His works remind me very much of magazine photographs, where a good knowledge of lighting placement is essential.

Not that you don't' need skill to do the art in question, but if your question is why does it get so many attention instead of other art, then it's because people like it better.
