Most of my working life has been spent in libraries, but in my younger days I trained and worked as a nurse. Now I have given up paid employment to cultivate the art of not working, and save my life at the same time. Life isn't always easy, but it's what we've got. Carpe diem!

Camouflage art

I came across this interesting artist the other day:
Chinese artist Lui Bolin camouflages himself into any surroundings with paint. It can take him up to 10 hours for a single shot. More pictures here on WTF, where I also found this artist:
Cecelia Parades, who uses her own body, make up and paint, to blend herself into her own intricate paintings. More pictures here at WTF.

And it may be unworthy, (or maybe I'm just envious), but I can't help thinking that some people have a lot of time on their hands.

  1. A lot of conceptual art is great fun, but being a classic 'easel-painter', myself, I still like to be able to hold, touch, possess, and hang on the wall. Simply looking at a photo for a few seconds isn't enough (for me).

  2. It took me a while to spot the Chinaman - eventually it was the shoes. I think the military are working on outfits like that.

  5. Thanks for posting those pics Judith.

    If it wasn't for you doing that, I would never have noticed the woman standing invisibly against the wallpaper behind the desk!

    I've told her to sod off and hang around somewhere else...
