Chen Wenling's Bernie Madoff Art: Wall Street Villain Pinned To Wall By Bull

The latest Bernie Madoff-inspired art was displayed at a Beijing art gallery on Sunday.

"What You see Might Not Be Real," by Chen Wenling depicts the Ponzi schemer as a devil, horns and all. The bull, which represents Wall Street, is farting because in Chinese "放屁" (fang pi) literally means to fart, but in slang means to bluff or lie.

Very creative, but wasn't it actually a bear market that brought Madoff down? I'd like to see that turned into a sculpture.­.
