Hiding in New York No. 8 - Cereal
Liu Bolin
2013
Archival Pigment Paint
Description of the artwork
Liu's artworks, or "body works" uses contemporary art techniques. He uses pigment paint to camouflage bodies into the environment.
In this work of art, he camouflages himself into a cereal aisle by painting his own body.
​
Not only does he use imagery that is recognizable in modern society, but he also uses himself within these scenes as a political statement directed at today’s society and the place people hold within it (Publicdelivery, n.d.).
​
As evident in his use of colors and pop art theme, Bolin’s style is inspired by Picasso and Andy Warhol (Publicdelivery, n.d.).
(Try to spot him!)
