Liu Bolin: The Invisble Man

[EvanWiorek]

Yeah, I found that out shortly after I posted comments elaborating my opinion in how it's done...that obviously makes it a lot simpler for Liu, but I still love to look at his work.

Liu Bolin has been doing his Hiding in the City series since 2005. It started as a political commentary on the tensions between the Chinese government and their people and the identity an environment gives an individual and vice versa. Liu Bolin will be exhibiting at Eli Klein Fine Art in New York from June 29 - August 28, 2011. Eli Klein Fine Art represents him exclusively in North and South America.

he doesn't paint himself but he is an artist. he's mainly a photographer and a sculptor. it could be that he sets up the camera angles and perspectives but has his assistants paint on him. either way it's still amazing

[MethisMacs]

is your song this? is amazing!!!! fav !

@monkey505boy thanx for your intresting feedback, but art comes in many forms. it is all up to how people think of it. he may or may not paint himself, but if you were to paint yourself for people's amusement, what would you call it? he calls it art, so it is art. and if the ending wasnt funny to you, thats great! this is mainly to show off his work, not so you can critisize art and the non-funny parts of my videos.

لا، في الواقع هذا هو الفنان الحقيقي. الدليل هو في الوصف.

(Sorry if my Arabic is bad, I used Google.)

It's called conceptual art, it doesn't matter who applies the actual paint. liu bolin is still the artist as it his concept and that is what matters in conceptual art.

@skekqudwns la cancion es esta "Plain White T's - 1234"

actually, it is indeed a painted suit trick, but he doesnt paint it himself. he just stands still while 3 or 4 guys paint his clothing and face/hair... there are videos of it on youtube.

[cowbags]

he doesn't paint himself. he has assistants who paint him whilst he stands perfectly still.

but it's his message and his idea, so he is definitely the artist.

damien hirst didn't personally put a shark in a tank, but it's still his work.

@TheOneBlackSheep1973 Thats a good question. I researched it, and appaeranetly he actually paints himself lol

This video would have gotten a thumbs up if it weren't for the ending.

[npower]

dude~ he is like solid snake.
awesome~!

[EvanWiorek]

I have researched many article about this, and there are just multiple answers. I am just assuming he could like paint a suit, then like put it on lol but that is probably wrong. Whatever the answer, art is freakin awesome.

[TheOneBlackSheep]

isnt he technically the canvas and not the artist

[masterchief]

lol you had me at that last one bahaha

@monkey505boy
hmm...in my opinion the "artists" are the people which are behind the everybody can stand in front of something
