Liu Bolin – Invisible man

Liu Bolin is a young Beijing based artist who has exhibited primarily in china until last year’s solo show in Paris and a group show with the gallery in Miami. He recently finished a show in New York showing off a variety of his work. He specializes in covering his subjects head to toe in paint, camouflaging themselves in front of the Chinese flag, a billboard or downtown Beijing. Bolin’s process is demanding often working on a single photo for up to 10 hours, he has to make it perfect, somethings people passing don’t notice him until he makes a movement.

I really admire what Bolin has achieved with his art work, it’s nothing like other work out there. I used to hate painting on a flat surface let alone a textured one. This is why I use computers for my artwork because it has ctrl+z, you can’t do that with painting.
