Liu Bolin - "The invisible man" was born in Shandong, China in the year 1973. In 1995 Liu Bolin completed his graduation from Shandong Art College and in 2001 he earned a MFA degree from the Central Academy of Fine Arts.

Liu Bolin is a great artist who is nicknamed as "The Invisible man", he doesn't vanish but he just paints himself so as to blend with the surrounding natural beauty and it's extremely hard to spot him.

It is impossible for Liu Bolin to be the Invisible Man. The Invisible Man
is much older and had to be born before 1973. Simply because the Invisible
Man films were being screened on Australian television in the nineteen sixties. It was a nightly series like Giligan's Island and Hogan's Heroes.

What a great concept. Challenging the mind with creativity. That's what art is all about. This guy is a true artist.

This man has a great talent and eye. It's pretty incredible what he manages to do. It would be very cool to meet him one day. He really manages to blend in and sometimes if you can't see his head he is difficult to spot. Sometimes his head is the only give-away. I especially like the last one, where he paints a picture over his face. Great work.

When you have to hide from the Chinese government for even saying one thing contrary to their dictating ways, you must become creative.
Posted By mllovric mllovric | about 1 month ago
If someone wants to hide in that way from the Chinese government, they may
as well walk into the government offices in Beijing and do the government
in without being caught. 3/10/2009.
