Posterzine Issue 67 | Shantell Martin

posted by Robyn Pitts March 29, 2021

Issue 67 of our monthly poster-come-magazine features the work of London-born artist Shantell Martin. With her dreamy lines meandering in a stream of consciousness, Shantell describes drawing as a meditation. However, unlike traditional meditation, she invites viewers to join her and play a role in its meaning.

Currently based in New York, projects of note include a 2019 work in which she covered a military chapel in the city in her bold line work, once again turning it into a place of reflection and community.

Yet, Shantell’s work is not limited to large scale pieces; she has also worked with various apparel brands and designers including Max Mara, Kelly Wearstler, Adidas, and Puma.

Inside this issue we chat with Shantell about feeling like an outsider, having moved across the world twice, and how she is far from done with dreaming.
