To escape the daily onslaught of pandemic news and Zoom calls, Christopher started painting during lock down to fill the void making collections had left.

"I would spend most of my day painting faces and mindscapes.
Painting during lock down replaced the void of making collections.
It became a way to escape my own mind - no rules, deadlines, or pressures.
I paint with acrylics, glue, and glitter.
The paintings are sticky, messy and the outcome always uncertain,
I think that’s why I love it so much." – Christopher Kane

The clothes for SS21 are extensions of those paintings. Some are digitally printed, others hand painted, and some glitter screen prints - they are each unique and one of a kind.

"Lock down has changed the way I want to work.
For SS21 I had zero desire to create a large collection,
I want to simplify and reduce output.
The exhibition is a selection of clothes that are extensions of the paintings." – Christopher Kane

Exhibiting the collection alongside the artworks that inspired it, Home Alone is open to the public from Tuesday the 22^nd to Friday the 25^th of September at Christopher Kane, Mount Street.
