Liu Bolin, the Chinese artist who has become world famous through his 'invisible art', is back with some of his most jaw-dropping work.

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 vegetables and a magazine rack.

'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 art work.
