Liu Bolin Plays Most Time Consuming Game of Hide and Seek in Name of Art

Beijing-based artist, Liu Bolin, channels his inner chameleon with elaborate transformations into whatever object stands behind him. For this project titled, naturally, “Camouflage,” Bolin covers his body in paint and effectively becomes invisible, at least for a moment.

Eight more pics and artist info after the break.

Bolin has previously held exhibits at the Galerie Bertin-Toublanc in Paris and Miami, as well as Eli Klein Fine Art in NYC.

Here’s a statement by the artist about his work:

“I choose to merge myself into the environment. Saying that I am disappeared in the environment, it would be better to say that the environment has licked me up and I can not choose active and passive relationship. In the environment of emphasizing cultural heritage, concealment is actually no place to hide.” -Bolin
