Mr Invisible

Liu Bolin is a Chinese artist who likes to paint himself to blend into a background and then take a photo…







Liu Bolin sees his work as a protest against the Chinese government, who inspired his first series 'Hiding in the City' after they closed down his art studio. His images take up to 10 hours to create and he works with a (very talented) assistant who paints him to resemble the background.

The Unbelievable Art of Li Wei

Li Wei is a Chinese artist who seems to defy gravity in his photography. Using only wires and optical illusion he creates amazing images that look professionally photoshopped rather than staged in reality. Wei uses a mixture of performance art and photography to capture these hair-raising images...



Wei has displayed his work all over the world where it has always gained astonishment.



He specialises in creating the illusion of a 'dangerous reality' and is often putting himself in real danger to get a great shot. It scares me just looking at these photos !
