The Invisible Artist
Liu Bolin is protesting the government shutdown of his art studio by painting himself invisible into the landscape.
His art is wonderful on many levels, but the metaphor for his protest is clear. Art and design students can learn much from how his deliberate blurring of the lines between figure and ground produces interest and novelty. Liu’s work succeeds on many levels, but most notably in the way that it evokes at the same time delight and sympathy; something very difficult to achieve.
