Celebrated surrealist artist René Magritte was known for embedding the concept of mystery within his works, of there being something secret and bringing that hidden thing forth for the viewer to ponder. His work was about evoking thought, and in his 1958 painting The Banquet, he brought the bright red sun to the foreground, making the striking orb the focus of the work, when in reality, the sun would be hidden behind the trees. He was making visible that which would normally be hidden. Some call is a visual conundrum.
In this garment, we take Magritte’s painting, double it, reflect it, and create a new image once again. This is our nod to making what would be hidden become visible, a twist on reality in the evolution of thought. He wanted the viewer to ponder, and we did.
