To see no evil, one can either turn a blind eye to the wrongdoings and ills of society or take an intentional approach of not looking at things that provoke ill intentions. These differing courses of action offer two choices: to either live your life in wilful ignorance or choose a meditative existence governed by positive intentions.

With her arms covered in a vibrant pattern of designs and colours, the Wise Woman covers her eyes to shield them from witnessing any misdeeds or wrongdoings. The viewer is left to wonder, what has this Wise Woman seen that has led her to conceal her eyes? Is it her own misdeeds that she chooses to ignore or someone else’s? Or is she blissfully ignoring the harsh reality of our current times? This artwork invites us to perhaps take a harder look at what we might be ignoring about ourselves and the life we continue to live.

The Wise Women by Kristel Bechara collection image

Inspired by the ancient Japanese proverb of the Three Wise Monkeys, this series is a modern-day interpretation of the iconic pictorial maxim that has been subject to extensive philosophical and political commentary. Building on a previous series of artworks titled, The Three Wise Women, these paintings update the proverb to suit the existing in this fast-paced world:

Think no evil. Do no evil. Admit no evil. Post no evil.

Each artwork features a wise woman as an allegorical representation of each tenant of the updated proverb. The front-view portraits of the women are meant to evoke a sense of philosophical curiosity within the viewers, making them question the intentionality and virtues by that they choose to live their lives by. Framed in dramatic poses, these wise women may amuse you with their coy expressions and vibrantly painted hands, but underneath their monochromatic beauty lies an invitation to explore the vivid spectrum of our morality and actions.
