Artist Liu Bolin from China was distraught after the government raided and closed down his art studio in Beijing. It already comes to no surprise how stringent China is with freedom of expression and this has affected the art scene greatly. Bolin’s studio was a haven and gathering place for artists and ever since that fateful incident in 2005, he has been working on a project titled Hiding in the City — part art, part protest against his government’s fear of artists working together.
Because of his Hiding series, Bolin has grabbed the attention of the worldwide audience, with each masterpiece taking roughly 10 hours to set up, camouflaging him within a city scape, most of the time giving freakishly amazing results.
