“As an artistic gift, “The Cloak†shows people’s desire for hidden things that have been hidden so far, thus facing ethical problems and triggering new images. This sculpture opens up a potential space for change, The ideological sense of distance and the gaze of chillingness translate into touch and touch. The name "clothing" is like a ghost, which touches each of us."
——The curator of the publication of “The Birth of the Clothâ€, Professor Elizabeth Presa, Director of the Creative Center of the Victorian College of Art, University of Melbourne, wrote in the foreword of the exhibition.
In 1997, sculptor Sui Jianguo, as a recipient of the “Asian Young Scholars Exchange Fund†at the University of Melbourne, came to the Victorian College of Art (hereinafter referred to as VCA) for observation and exchange. In the one and a half months of the VCA sculpture department, Sui Jianguo looked back at the mainland of China and the upcoming Hong Kong on the other side of the ocean, and realized the fate of the Chinese in the 20th century. He created the first edition of the sculpture "The Cloak" with the Chinese costume as the prototype. . He refined Sun Yat-sen's personal design, Mao Zedong and several generations of successors, and refined it into a solemn and heavy cultural symbol. It not only embodies the course of national elites and poor people who have experienced hardships and perseverance in pursuit of national independence and national liberation in the past 100 years, but also condenses the road dispute caused by internal and external troubles, the political tilt caused by the operation of revolutionary machines, and the resulting The history of social unrest and the suffering of the people.
After returning from Melbourne, Sui Jianguo repeatedly experimented and after completing six different sizes, he finally completed the 2.4-meter-high sculpture "The Cloak". In September 1999, "The Cloth" participated in the "Century Sculpture Exhibition · 1970-2000" on the Champs Elysées in Paris, France, which attracted widespread attention at home and abroad and has since become one of the representative works of contemporary Chinese sculpture.

Twenty years ago, with regard to the question of "what to do and how to do" in contemporary Chinese sculpture, Sui Jianguo proposed a method of puns with the work of "clothing" - in the form of deconstruction, directly using the realistic language of the college, and having The realistic image of personal experience has repeatedly refined and shaped a ready-made object with a background of social public experience into a symbol of culture and art with a high degree of recognition and social ideology. Along this road, Sui Jianguo successively launched "Women's Research", "Made in China" in the following six years, until "Sleeping Chairman Mao" and other series of sculptures using realistic language to shape ideological symbols.

Sui Jianguo used "The Cloak" to transform it into a historical monument that has faded out of life but still shrouded in the depths of the Chinese spirit. This masterpiece is not only the material carrier of the revolutionary spirit in the past 100 years, but also more accurately expresses the cultural background and spiritual confusion of the Chinese people in the past millennium. As a social and cultural symbol, born in 20 years ago, "China" is still the best portrayal of social status and mentality in China.
