Chinese artist Liu Bolin has a new exhibit, focussing on a fairly niche (and brilliant) type of art: camoflage art. Bolin literally paints himself into his environment, mimicking humans propensity to let themselves bleed into their social mileu to survive, shedding any kind of innate ‘humanness’ in the process (take THAT, minor in Art theory). The works themselves are staggeringly well composed, and prove that to be invisible, you don’t need an invisibility cloak. You just need some paint, an artists grant, and the willingness to remain stationary covered in paint whilst animals casually pee on you.
