Liu Bolin, also known as The Invisible Man, created his "Burning Man Obama" statue in light of President Obama's visit to China. The Invisible http://www.sodahead.com/other/liu-bolins-burning-man-obama/blog-211677/ Man pecked the "Burning Man Obama" with small holes so that flames may coat the bronze Obama. Liu Bolin, who admires Barack Obama, created the "Burning Man Obama" statue to celebrate who he believes is a "hot" and key politician in today's politics.
Liu Bolin has been doing his Hiding in the City series since 2005. It started as a political commentary on the tensions between the Chinese government and their people and the identity an environment gives an individual and vice versa. Liu Bolin will be exhibiting at Eli Klein Fine Art in New York from June 29 - August 28, 2011. Eli Klein Fine Art represents him exclusively in North and South America. More images can be found on our website.
