invisible man.
A very interesting collection by Liu Bolin, a contemporary chinese artist, who has cleverly painted himself to blend into his surroundings – like a ‘human chameleon’. In an interview, Liu claims he spends up to 10 hours on a single photograph. He was inspired by the sense of feeling like a social outcast.
“Some people call me the invisible man, but for me it’s what is not seen in a picture which is really what tells the story,” Mr Bolin told the UK’s Telegraph.

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.
