Hidden in Poetic Strokes

In Shanghai, at the end of summer, the cooperation between ANEST COLLECTIVE and British contemporary artist Sam Lock started from London and finally landed in a quiet corner of the city to form this exhibition?- "MORE THAN THE EYE CAN SEE", which is not only the filling and emptying of space and surface, but also faint traces and long echoes.

The movement track of the body, with a free breath, roams on Sam Lock's works of art inspired by ANEST COLLECTIVE haute couture.

From the perspective of painting, Sam Lock interpreted?how the flowing profile in the works of Brendan Mullane, the brand's invited creative director, shows the freedom of the?body line and dexterity.

The idea that Brendan Mullane understands clothing as a beautiful structural outline lightened?up Sam Lock's original research and inspiration for archaeology-layers of lining structure superimposed with fine?fabrics, hiding beauty beneath it.

?

Sam Lock's continuous modern strokes are designed to visually extend the time for people to look at a painting and slow down the speed at which people appriecate?or understand a work.?

The process of watching the work becomes a physiological reaction, passing back and forth between the painting and the appreciator, in order to inspire?wonderful feelings and thoughts.

Painting, like clothing, is a language and a stream of information.?Sometimes the information comes from the work itself, and sometimes from people who appreciate?and wear it

As Brendan said, "it's the idea?to allow the medium to speak?and to allow the conversation to be much more deeper?than just clothes or just a painting."?On the other hand, ANEST is a continuous interface between expressions, stimulating people's ideas and reactions, and then precipitating back to the works.

As you detour between paintings and ready-made clothes, and then stop for a moment, the hidden beauty is slowly unfolding, and the longer you spend with them, the more you discover.
