Knowledge and Wisdom by Wei Chen

What was your inspiration to paint “Knowledge and Wisdom?”

This piece was inspired by a Russian movie—I’ve forgotten the name of it. It is a political movie with many subplots, killings, and struggles, but all of them are observed from the viewpoint of a little girl. It was shocking to me. An extremely young eye to see such brutal realities. The character you see in “Knowledge and Wisdom” is based on that girl. I tried to capture the irony and strong contrast (Source).
