“To speak no evil” can be interpreted in two different ways; it could mean restricting yourself from saying anything that causes harm to someone or staying silent in the face of adversity or injustice. This tenet of the Three Wise Monkeys’ proverb is to make us ponder whether our voices contribute to the meaningless chatter that bogs down society and our silences implicit in encouraging the misdeeds around us.
Standing in front of a gold patterned background, the wide-eyed Wise Woman in this artwork covers her mouth using her vibrantly coloured hands. Her expressions give away her sense of astonishment as if she has run out of words. Her bewilderment is contagious, as the viewer is also left wondering what this Wise Woman is trying to say. Does she see us for who we are and all the secrets that we carry? Is she coyly mocking us with all her unsaid wisdom? We shall never know…
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.
