WHAT: "Are You You" Opening Reception Party-- The work of Shantell Martin is a meditation of lines; a language of characters, creatures and messages that invite her viewers to share a role in her creative process. Part autobiographical, and part dreamlike whimsy, Martin has created her own world that bridges fine art, commercial art and the everyday experience — conversations, objects and places. Using her simple trademark — black ink and white surfaces, Martin's illustrations transform everything from walls, found objects, ceramics, luxury goods, sneakers, and even faces into a visual narrative. Martin's diverse portfolio illustrates her gift of navigating many worlds. Her commissions at Asia's ultra-high end department store Lane Crawford and Y&R's global headquarters were met with the same amount of fanfare as her live talks and drawing demonstrations.
