Bernie Madoff inspired art "What You see Might Not Be Real"

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.

4. Yes, "dynamic" was the word I was thinking of as well.
