Known for his performances in painting himself to blend into various backgrounds, Liu Bolin challenges our perceptions of visibility and presence. His work serves as both a literal and metaphorical exploration of invisibility.

Bolin’s process involves meticulously painting his body to match the surroundings in which he stands. The act of camouflaging himself highlights how individuals can become overlooked or marginalised in society.

By examining the subtleties of Bolin’s camouflage, viewers are prompted to reflect on themes of presence, absence, and the very act of seeing. Liu Bolin’s “Seeing the Invisible” is more than just an exhibition; it’s an experience that challenges how we think about visibility and invisibility, encouraging a deeper engagement with both the art and the world around us.
