[Perspectives] Liu Bolin: artist for the Anthropocene

At a time when so much of the world's attention is focused on China's rise, global imprint, and intent, it's heartening to encounter Liu Bolin's art, with its critical but playful invitation to experience realities within China. Part of Australia's Ballarat International Foto Biennale, Liu's Camouflage is his first Australian exhibition. Liu, a Chinese artist from Shandong province, trained as a sculptor. His signature style is to paint and then painstakingly superimpose his body on backdrops and landscapes such that he or his subjects are virtually hidden.
