Chinese artist Liu Bolin makes himself invisible in his artwork

Chinese artist Liu Bolin makes himself invisible in his paintings. He spend hours perfecting his poses to ensure that he will blend with the background. He paint himself from head to toe and blend himself in his background.
Bolin stands “in front of backdrops with a team of two assistants to paint the camouflage on his clothes.” The “camouflage” can be anything, so long as Bolin segues seamlessly into the backdrop. He said: ‘My urban camouflage paint series began after Suojia Village Art Campus where I was working was shut down by the ‘My resistance to the force of governments made me experience the life of people with no social status, no job, no family, no income and this was the emotional reason I began my series of works.

‘In my work the artist is hiding to restore his strength and to protect himself.

‘I wany my viewers to experience China as I know it, where the concept of artists as human beings was once neglected.’
Bolin graduated at the Sculpture Department of the Central of Fine Arts in China. His work is in high demand.
