@fthtsi “Painting and drawing have always felt so natural, and as a boy I used to ask my mother to pose for me,” says fashion designer Christopher Kane, who found salvation in art during lockdown when the fashion industry had come to a grinding halt. “When you are running a fashion business your passions take a back seat, but I picked up my brushes and pens again and that practice became my sanctuary”. Now he is debuting his first art collection at the Galerie Gugging in Austria. Titled Curated by Christopher Kane, the exhibition, which runs until 9 October, shows his figurative paintings alongside pieces by the Gugging Artists. “There’s an honesty about his work,” says the gallery’s director Nina Katschnig. “He’s not painting for money or to be famous but because it must be.” Link in bio for the full story. ⁠ 📷 ⁠Designer Christopher Kane and gallerist Nina Katschnig © Lisa Edi. ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #CuratedbyChristopherKane #galeriegugging
