liu bolin is a chinese artist focusing on how “city surroundings can affect the people living in them.” often his pieces make me think about the past. the figure seems more like a ghost that had once lived in the spaces that are now being occupied by something else. there were a few instances that bolin did so well at painting the figure to look transparent that it took me a while to find them. if you like the images below, the hiding in the city series is pretty big, check out more images here.
