Liu Bolin

If you are not familar with Liu Bolin's photographic work, you are in for a real treat. He is a Chineese artist who has used the photographic image to say VOLUMES about living in China. Each piece is so perfectly conceived of and executed.

His work is now up in Chicago at the Schneider gallery and well worth the trip to see the prints in person.

if they weren't photographs, they could easily be performance or conceptual works.

Liu Bolin has been doing his Hiding in the City series since 2005. It started as a political commentary on the tensions between the Chinese government and their people and the identity an environment gives an individual and vice versa. Liu Bolin will be exhibiting at Eli Klein Fine Art in New York from June 29 - August 28, 2011. Eli Klein Fine Art represents him exclusively in North and South America.
