Beijing's Liu Bolin can hide anywhere. The invisible man, camouflaged as a phone booth, bulldozers, flags, buildings and signs, are all canvases for the talented Chinese artist. This is no Photoshop job. It is all done by Liu Bolin himself.
Liu Bolin, 36, can blend in with almost any background. Much like sculpture or canvas and oils, he uses his body as part of the art materials just like any other artist would use in their studios. He does this by painting himself to resemble whatever it is that he wants to make a statement about.
A combination of paint and photographs are created in such a way to make Liu Bolin into China's "invisible"man. His camouflaged art work been featured in many publications, and is now creating quite a buzz on the internet as well.
Looking at some of Liu Bolin camouflaged art would surprise many, and he does. Walking up to a bulldozer, and having something move out of the background, would shock anyone. Sometimes he stands still – and no one would be the wiser – until he moves. It truly is amazing.
"Some people call me the invisible man, but for me it's what is not seen in a picture which is really what tells the story," Mr Bolin told the UK's Telegraph. "I experienced the dark side of society, without social relations, and had a feeling that no one cared about me, I felt myself unnecessary in this world."
Liu Bolin is somewhat of a political dissident. His art studio was shut down in 2005, so Mr Liu Bolin found that his work was a way to protest the government in an artistic way.
