Paint-by-camouflage

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Or, as some might say, if you can't build yourself into a working car seat, paint yourself into your surroundings. Liu Bolin, represented by the Galerie Bertin-Toublanc, is repsonsible for this stunning series of portraits in which he literally paints himself and others directly into an environment.

Money quote from the artist's statement:

"In the environment of emphasizing cultural heritage, concealment is actually no place to hide."
