Produced in collaboration with the Whitney Museum of Art in New York. Shantell Martin’s signature black and white drawings inspire and innovate, while exploring themes such as intersectionality, identity, and play. Her compositions are a cultural facilitator for forming new connections between fine art, education, design, and philosophy. On the occasion of Shantell Martin’s recent collaboration with the Whitney Shop, LINE by Shantell Martin, theory11 is proud to announce these two decks as the first in a series through which we hope to highlight the work of truly groundbreaking artists and illustrators. Our objective was to pair our expertise in print production with the spirit and sincerity of the artist’s voice - using playing cards as a unique, handheld medium to present Shantell’s visionary art. Shantell Martin Playing Cards feature a fully custom design inside and out, exhibiting her wonderfully crafted storytelling at every inch.
