Painting Himself
Liu Bolin, Sitting in the Road
I'm always on the look-out for contemporary artists who fit the mold and many do. Cindy Sherman, for instance, has made a career out of photographing herself as other people. Then along comes Liu Bolin. As you can see from the image above, he takes the concept very seriously: he paints himself.
For other images by him, see The Invisible Man
