Just discovered your blog. I love that you have good art on here.

This is amazing. But aren’t his assistants doing all of the work?
Oh my wow…
How do we KNOW these are not photoshopped? They would be so much easier to do that way and no one would be able to tell the difference.
OK, nevermind. I watched the video.
So creepy yet so awesome. It took me a second to even find him in the tractor photo.

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. More images can be found on http://www.ekfineart.com.
This is brilliant, just brilliant! It took me a while to find him in the first photo 🙂
Wow!! Almost couldn’t see him in the first one!
These are amazing! Thank you for these!
Uff looks ghoooooost
unblealvabel
Fucking awesome!!! Unbelievable creativity..
this sooooo cray cray
These are among my all time favorites, my favorite scene from the movie house of cards, when the little girl paints herself to look like the tree outside the window and stands on the window ledge/ sill md literally disappears from the room amazing talent!
We learned about this in a history class today, I’m surprised you didn’t mention any of the symbolism behind it! Chinese contemporary art took off after being inspired by what was going on with the art movement in North America. Bolin is trying to depict the confusion the Chinese people felt about fitting into such a massive society, especially after the Tienanmen Square protest for democracy. People felt invisible.
I had the wonderful opportunity to participate in an exhibition along with Liu Bolin in an exhibition titled
INTERACT: Deconstructing Spectatorship at the East Wing Biennial | The Courtauld Institute of Art in London,
curated by Alicia Stockley and Elizabeth de Bertier.
Liu’s work was outstanding in that it struck me as stunningly beautiful, skillfully and exquisitely executed, and at the same time deeply meaningful both on a personal level and equally on a cultural/socio-political level.
This series “Hiding in the City” began when, in 2005, the Chinese government shut down the artist’s district of Suo Jia Cun. Over 100 buildings were demolished including Liu’s own studio. Left without a studio, Liu took his art to the streets creating a place for his art and himself. Truly brilliant work.
