2 Easy Fashion

2 Easy Fashion is a duo that loves lightness. It’s almost a medical prescription: the most important thing is not to overstrain. Easy’s creations don’t aim to solve transcendental questions or complex problems—but (if we insist on it), their mere existence can raise those very questions. After all, let’s admit it—nothing is harder than relaxing: for that, you need yoga, medication, and breathing exercises. For many of you, relaxation is a major issue, one that can only be solved by tossing a pencil onto a piece of paper.

2 Easy Fashion is not irony—it’s a sincere process, carried out in a relaxed manner, blending life with pleasure and creative interest with goofing off. The artist’s body is used simply because it’s easy—probably nothing is more not easy than an autobiographical confession. But at the same time, the body is the simplest canvas to show what happens when the artist shows up one day without brushing their hair. The aesthetic of 2 Easy Fashion is so light it’s practically invisible—a calm joy that doesn’t fit into any complex visual narrative. It’s allowed to simply be, performing its (essential) function without jumping between creative pretensions.

The lightness that 2 Easy Fashion cares about isn’t some esoteric category—a transparent soul—but rather a form and method of simplicity, applicable both to the viewer and to the creation of things. If all this sounds like the intro to an ad, it just proves how hard it is to write about simplicity. Often, we don’t even have the words for it—sometimes not even the language. In trying to articulate something that might be better felt than fully translated—this sense of easiness—we risk breaking ten language rules and forgetting that 2 Easy Fashion‘s work is actually highly methodical, just not dressed up as such.

We’re used to surrendering to jokes: either you get it, or you don’t. A similar magnetism arises somewhere inside the duo’s work—where a girl’s back in a cafeteria, a sketch’s hatching, or a collage’s giggle demands that we don’t think about them in the usual way that seeks connections of cause and effect, of figures and meaning—often tense as wire. But there’s no need to stress about it. In fact, there’s no need to do anything that couldn’t be easy—in other words: fun because it’s light, light because it’s interesting, interesting because it’s fun. Under such conditions, the creative dialogue that the Duo names as their main goal unfolds naturally and understandably.

Long-time familiar heads have many ways and reasons to talk—lightly and without pressure. As if not about art, but fashion.
