准备隐身。 透明人。 在鸟巢前隐身。 在废墟前隐身。 在电话亭前隐身。 The invisible man returns - and he's harder to pick out than ever Now you see him - now you don't. Liu Bolin, the Chinese artist who has become world famous through his 'invisible art', is back with some his most jaw-dropping work yet. His latest exhibition at the Eli Klein Art Gallery in New York shows him melting into backdrops including shelves packed with soft toys, fruit and veg and a magazine rack. Seamless: Artists spend hours carefully painting Liu Bolin from head to toe so he can blend in to the background Vanished: An incredible attention to detail is required for Liu Bolin to blend into backgrounds such as these shelves full of soft toys Blink and you'll miss it: Travellers could be forgiven for not noticing artist Liu Bolin hiding at this bus stop Popular: The images have gathered critical and public acclaim across the world Disappearing act: No matter how complex the backdrop, Liu Bolin manages to become virtually invisible to the naked eye Each picture takes hours of painstaking work, as artist's spend up to ten hours at a time covering Liu Bolin in paint so that he blends seamlessly into the background. The 40-year old is such a perfectionist, bystanders often walk by with no idea he is even there until he moves. This new series of photographs feature some of his most eye-catching works to date. In one, he somehow manages to disappear in front of a wall covered in mobile phones and stood on the harbour with a huge naval ship in the background. The Chinese national, who has gathered critical and popular acclaim around the world for his body of work, says the pictures make a statement about his place in society. 'Each one chooses his or her path to come in contact with the external world. I chose to merge with the environment,' he said about his upcoming exhibition. Patience: The artist spends up to ten hours at at time to ensure the effect is inch perfect Frozen like a statue: The artist has no problem disappearing even in an outdoor environment such as in front of this Chinese statue Thin air: Artist Liu Bolin says his 'invisible' pictures make a statement about his place in society Art imitating art: A wall covered in graffiti provides another fascinating backdrop for Liu Bolin to disappear Camouflage: The artist blends in with rows and rows of people dressed in red hoods in this picture posed in Beijing Fading away: The artist creates his own version of a family portrait with a mother, father and child stood in front of a lantern shop in Beijing
