Chinese artist Liu Bolin is an artist that likes to paint himself into his surrounding to make a sense of camouflage. Although I don’t think it’s working because I can clearly see him, maybe. But it is pretty neat seeing a guy do this, Liu Bolin also has an assistant of course to help him put the paint on.
He claims they make a statement about his place in society. He sees himself as an outsider whose artistic efforts are not always valued, especially in his native country.
Standing silently in front of his chosen scene, in locations all around the world, the 36-year-old uses himself as a blank canvas.Then, with a little help from an assistant, he paints his body to merge as seamlessly as possible with what is behind him.
