About Solitaire
A collaborative series of works by British artists Shantell Martin and Ben Sheppee, Solitaire is about deconstructing solid or valid entities and re-presenting them in a transformed manner. The three-dimensional nature of the now abstract structures, each of which floats aimlessly in space, contributes to their ambiguity as something imagined attempts to become something real. With a collaborative working relationship that spans 15 years, artists Martin and Sheppee have styles that both contrast and complement each other's practice, style, and work.
About Shantell Martin
Shantell Martin is one of today’s most groundbreaking multimedia artists. Known for her ongoing exploration of the vast potential of the drawn line, below the surface of her signature black and white drawing is an exploration of the reciprocal relationship between artist and viewer, in which a work of art is more than an object of admiration. Exploring themes such as intersectionality, identity, and play, Shantell is a cultural facilitator, forging new connections between fine art, education, design, philosophy, and technology.
Introducing Ben Sheppee
Sheppee has been part of the visual arts scene for over twenty years, setting up “Lightrhythm”; an art publisher which released 240 films by over 70 artists. As an artist, his approach often involves disrupting digital processes, where he seeks new aesthetics or “happy accidents'' which form the base of his designs. Sheppee has worked with high-profile brands and institutions such as Dior, DKNY, the BBC, and the British Library, and has exhibited his work extensively, with venues including Tate, ICA, SFMOMA, Serpentine, and The National Portrait Gallery.
