This photo of Chinese sculptor
Chen Wenling's “What You see Might Not Be Real," comes via the
Wall Street Journal of all places. This is because the bull represents Wall St and the man is Bernie Madoff. The sculpture is a critique of the financial crisis. It helps to know that
fang pi in Chinese is both "to fart" and slang for "to lie".
“What You see Might Not Be Real"
A lot of satire, some surrealism, and many pigs can be found in his work.
