About the Item

Man standing in New York City, painted so he is barely visible in the image, photographed by Liu Bolin in 2011. All prints are limited edition. Available in multiple sizes. High-end framing on request. All prints are done and signed by the artist. The collector receives an additional certificate of authenticity from the gallery. At first glance, Liu’s photographs seem to be only of unique locations - a rack of Mexican wrestling masks for sale or a pile of municipal waste. On closer inspection, an outline of a man appears, precisely painted in camouflage and hiding in the open. A metaphor for the condition of today’s citizens who feel invisible to the greater powers of consumerism and urbanization, Liu Bolin’s sociopolitical works constantly provides examinations of the binaries between the city’s inhabitants and their surrounding environment, vision and reality, and illusion and truth. Liu Bolin was born in 1973 in the Chinese province of Shandong. He finished his studies at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing with a Master of Fine Arts in 2001. His works have been shown in museums across the world ever since, and he rapidly made a name for himself as “The Invisible Man”. His best-known photographs are from the Hiding in the City series, which began as action art in 2005.

Located in Culver City, CA
"03:03" Resin Sculpture 73" x 71" x 27.5" inch Edition 6/8 by Huang Yulong ABOUT THE ARTIST Huang Yulong was born in 1983 in Anhui Province, China. In 2007 he graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Sculpture from the Jingdezhen Ceramic Institute in Jiangxi Province. As one of the new generation of Chinese artists and part of the ‘post-80s generation’ and ‘only child’ generation, Huang is strongly influenced by the phenomenon of foreign culture in China, which he combines with his fascination with pottery and the material world. Huang is best known for his sculptures of Buddhas in hoodies, displaying an exchange of Eastern tradition and Western contemporary style. He was selected by “Complex” as “25 Contemporary Chinese Artists You Need to Know” in 2013. His sculptures have been exhibited at Niubi Newbie Kids II, at Schoeni Gallery, Hong Kong; “Zeitgeist” Huang Yulong’s Solo Exhibition at Himalayas Art Museum, Shanghai, China; Chinese Artist / Marseille Artist at Marseilles, France; The 4th International Contemporary Art Exhibition at Gwangju Biennale Korea, Art Beijing Art...
