PUDDING DESIGN SUPPLEMENT : LIU BOLIN, The man, the art, the invisible.

Liu Bolin from Shandong, China, has developed into a world recognised artist since his emergence in the early 1990's following the Cultural Revolution. Liu creates an amazing form of art which features himself as a real life invisible man.

His first solo exhibition took place in Beijing in 1998 leading up to his most recent work entitled 'Hiding in New York' which is currently display in the Eli Klein Fine Art Gallery until :
September 28th 2011.

Each photo takes up to 10 hours to compose where Liu transforms himself with full painted camouflage as he becomes invisible and submerges into his surroundings. Astonishing work. Here's a short selection of our favourites showing his diverse and topical subject matter from the supermarket, to the forest to a British red telephone box :-
