Martin's work is a meditation of lines; a language of characters, creatures and messages that invites viewers to share a role in the creative process.

BROMPTON
2024
The Brompton X Shantell Martin C Line 2 Speed is a tribute to the artist’s inimitable spirit – and genuine love for cycling. Inspired by one of Martin's distinctive works, this Brompton is unlike any other bike in the market - offering the same fold people know and love with a one-of-a-kind design, logo, serial plate, fenders and saddle. Shantell Martin x Brompton is not only art you can touch, but also experience - easy to transport and keep in compact spaces. Each Shantell Martin Brompton is packaged in a limited issue sleeve around the box with perforated edges you can rip and keep a piece of her art for yourself.
"I grew up in London, so I'm very familiar with Brompton Bikes - it's been a part of my fabric and culture. When I was younger, Brompton was very elusive in a way. I would see people riding their Bromptons, folding them up and taking them around - it always came with a sense of wow for me, so I'm super excited about this opportunity to collaborate. I love that the brand is 50 years old, and now I get to apply my art and be a part of that history. It's really incredible to become a part of the Brompton legacy and bring my own history into the fold as an artist." - Shantell Martin.
