Liu Bolin
Chinese.
Born in Shandong in 1973, Liu Bolin completed undergraduate studies at the Art Department of Shandong Arts Institute and a masters degree at the Sculpture Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts. This series is composed of monochromatic red or white boys that are hiding their eyes. These figures are portrayed at a particularly influencable age to powerfully reflect a generation seeking to free itself from a simplistic education with little choice but to obey. Whether they are born blind or blinded by others, they remain dependent on those that govern them and appear fairly happy this way.
