Liu Bolin, Portrait
Liu Bolin, known as The Invisible Man, is a renowned Chinese artist celebrated for his thought–provoking photographic art that explores themes of identity, invisibility, and social critique.
Born in 1973 in Shandong, China, Liu studied sculpture at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing, where he developed his distinctive approach of blending into backgrounds as a means of social commentary.
Liu gained international acclaim for his Hiding in the City series, in which he camouflages himself seamlessly into urban and cultural landscapes, highlighting issues such as government censorship, the clash between tradition and modernity, and environmental challenges.
By painting himself to disappear into his surroundings, Liu creates powerful images that question the role of the individual within society and the impact of globalization on cultural identity.
His works have been exhibited in prestigious institutions worldwide, from the Asia Society in New York to major art fairs and museums across Europe, Asia, and the United States.
Liu Bolin’s innovative approach to photography and performance art has established him as a key figure in contemporary art, challenging viewers to confront the often-overlooked aspects of the world around them.
