Chinese contemporary artist Liu Bolin is a genius when it comes to street art. He’s known as a modern-day magician who camouflages himself (usually with the help of assistants) so that his whole body seamlessly blends into the background. Wooster Collective was fortunate enough to bring Bolin to the streets of New York City for a series of live outdoor performances, paintings and photographs.

If you love it when you see two artists collaborating, does Wooster have a treat for you. Street artist Kenny Scharf recently painted Liu Bolin into his mural on Bowery and Houston. “After months of planning, and with the help of Tony Goldman and everyone at the Eli Klein Gallery, we actually pulled it off,” said Marc of Wooster Collective.

What a fantastic, well-executed idea!
