Liu Bolin : The Invisible Man

By / 04 Apr 2011 @ 9:15 am / 12761 views

Liu Bolin says his art is a protest against the actions of the Government, who shut down his art studio in 2005 and persecutes artists. It’s about not fitting into modern society. Despite problems with Chinese authorities, Liu’s works are appreciated at an international level.

His shocking precision makes his work remarkably unbelievable. 35-year-old Chinese artist Liu Bolin, camouflages himself in any surroundings, and you can see here that there is no background too difficult for him. Bolin may spend upwards of 10 hours at any given moment to achieve his desired effect. He works from photographs, capturing a specific image and then painting himself to fit inside that exact photo

before retaking it with himself inside.

    Liu Bolin has been doing his Hiding in the City series since 2005. It started as a political commentary on the tensions between the Chinese government and their people and the identity an environment gives an individual and vice versa. Liu Bolin will be exhibiting at Eli Klein Fine Art in New York from June 29 – August 28, 2011. Eli Klein Fine Art represents him exclusively in North and South America.

    I love that red theatre chair image that Liu Bolin is in! It was done so well. I think the possibilities for Liu and his art work is really endless. It would be interesting if he did an around the world exhibit. He could conform and shield himself within famous landmarks like the Eiffel tower, the Great Wall of China, The Colosseum, etc. Thoughts?
