ARTIST WE LIKE: Liu Bolin
Beijing artist Liu Bolin has a solo exhibition, The Invisible Man currently on show at Eli Klein Fine Art until August 28, 2011.
Liu Bolin’s The Invisible Man continues his exploration of Chinese national identity and the relationship between human beings and the environment. The large-scale photos on display will span his recent work and include his famed self-camouflage series Hiding in the City as well as Hiding in Italy. We first heard about the artist from his camouflage series and we’ve been fans ever since.


Liu Bolin was born in China’s Shandong province in 1973, and earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Shandong College of Arts and his Master of Fine Arts from the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. His work has been exhibited in museum shows around the world including recent solo exhibitions “Hiding in Italy,” Forma Centro Internazionale Di Fotografia, Milan (2010); “Hiding in the City,” Museo de Bellas Artes, Caracas (2010) and “Liu Bolin,” Fotografiska Museet, Stockholm (July, 2011).
During the month of June, Liu Bolin has been creating a series of Hiding in New York photographs! We can’t wait to see them…
