Playful, bold and exuberant, Black Line Crazy is a brand with adventure at its heart and (of course), where the color black always takes center stage.
The work celebrates the power of line and spontaneous mark making where each limited edition piece in the collection is based on an original abstract painting by Mary van de Wiel (better known as Van).
What’s more, the work passionately expresses her ethos that “art belongs in your everyday life.” After all, art has a pulse. Just like we do. And it belongs in everyday life. Not just on walls.
No surprise. That’s why van de Wiel couldn’t resist interpreting her paintings across different platforms, mediums and textures. Hello, Black Line Crazy!
Back Story: Working in the brand intelligence space for 30 years in Brooklyn and Sydney, one day she started painting floor to ceiling in the middle of Mexico. It turned her life upside down. Some say she was painting her way into being.
She invites you to do the same!
Show up like you mean it.
Live out loud.
Dare to walk outside the line.
Dare to be you.
What could be better than that.
