Art. Personality. Hand-Painted.
Chiaroscuro Playing Cards was released by Obec Studio in collaboration with Riffle Shuffle. Every single card in Chiaroscuro deck is hand-painted and completely customized by Obec Studio’s creative lead, Biolimbo. Inside, the four suits are attributed to the four basic fields of life: emotions, thoughts, the material world, and physical being, each painted differently and has its own particularities.
The card back design is not symmetrical and made out of different paintbrush strokes. However, it is hardly noticeable due to the consistency of the colorway. The final touch is given by the Jokers, an artistical intervention of an oil on canvas painting, showcasing the characters doing famous cardistry moves.
The deck is printed by the United States Playing Card Company and is available now for $14 from obec.studio.
