The women complication


(Reload if you see no picture above)
An interesting painting with five woman representing the five nation, describing the taiwan-china political situation. American seems to be the only one that was equiped with clothes (power) but as the Chinese and Russian are having their pants under the table, and Japan was totally naked. The Chinese also has their secret deals with Russian pairing up while Taiwan was too immature to stood beside. The Mao with a mustash painting may represent a new Chinese-Russian communism. Also the scene was set in an un-certain weather. Ma Jogh is never a simple game is it.

Came across this painting on Internet, it was said this painting was featured in one of the Art exhibition but I could not find out the exact source, if anyone has the info please let me know.

This is intriguing, simon. Perhaps the postures of the sitting women have underlying meanings too? The chinese woman hiding 2 majong behind could be indicating how we are going to be the "winner" in the end, ha!

Can't read the artist's signature clearly. I wish to find out more, too. Is "the women complication" the official title or just your intepretation?
