Sculpture and Liu Bolin

Sunny Weiler has a very interesting post on his Stone Art Blog,  on Chinese artist Liu Bolin.

Bolin hides himself in plain sight, invisible, as protest against the actions of the Chinese Government, who shut down his art studio in 2005 and persecutes artist for holding unorthodox views.

It's so easy to forget how fortunate we are to be able to pursue our art. Read all about this artist literally putting his body on the line on Stone Art Blog.
