China ‘invisible man’ painter blends into surroundings with chameleon body colouring to promote love of nature
- Artist paints himself into natural backgrounds at scenic spots, famous buildings
- Visual creator is social media hit, attracts a million followers with unusual art form
An eco-friendly, so-called invisible man in China, who “disappears” in photos by using body painting in a bid to promote environmental protection has become an online hit.
Painter Wang Liang, 35, from Shandong province in eastern China, has been hailed as the “human chameleon” by his 1 million fans on Douyin.
Clad in all-white, Wang holds a brush and a palette while painting on himself according to the colours and light variations of backgrounds such as rivers, stones, trees, and flowers.
Once the painting is complete, he seamlessly integrates with the backdrop, effectively “camouflaging” himself in nature.
“My artwork aims to demonstrate the concept of humans blending into nature and living in harmony with it. I hope to advocate for nature conservation through my works,” said Wang.
