Van Gogh as the Statue of Liberty

In this artwork, Van Gogh IS the Statue of Liberty! In his left hand, the artist holds his palette. In his right hand, he upholds a bright bunch of flowers, too active to be called a bouquet.
This is the lady’s birthday! Chen turns Liberty’s tiara into Van Gogh’s hat, blazing with a birthday extravaganza of seven torch-light candles.This dynamic painting is a perfect tribute to these three icons: to Liberty, to Van Gogh, and to Chen.
