Bicycle Sari Sari (Harmony Edition) Playing Cards

Description

A Celebration of Artistry

The Bicycle Sari-Sari ("variety") Playing Cards deck pays homage to rich and dynamic creativity, brought to life by 55 talented artists from the Philippines. This unique collaboration includes toy designers, illustrators, graffiti artists, and more. The result is a deck that not only highlights each artist's distinctive style but also celebrates individuality and depth.

Artistry in Every Card

Every artist in this collaboration was given the opportunity to transform a single card into their personal canvas. By integrating their own characters, they've crafted a deck that tells 55 unique stories, each card an expression of personal creativity and style. From detailed, intricate designs to bold, graffiti-inspired statements, each card is a window into the artist's vision. This deck isn't just for play; it's a curated gallery of artistry, housed within 52 cards, two jokers, and a back design.

Global Inspiration, Local Soul

With influence worldwide, many of these artists are celebrated modern toy designers whose works have been showcased in prestigious gallery exhibitions, solo shows, and art events locally and across the globe. Known for collaborations with major brands, they continue to push the boundaries of art and culture. The Bicycle Sari-Sari Playing Cards capture that same global inspiration with local soul, celebrating a vibrant artistic legacy that echoes far and wide.

Harmony in Design

The Harmony variant of the Sari-Sari deck brings a mesmerizing blend of symmetry and visual balance to life. The back design uses modular geometric shapes that fit together seamlessly, evoking the elegant symmetry of a kaleidoscope. Each shape plays a part in an intricate, harmonious pattern, creating a dynamic visual experience that transforms beautifully from any angle. Rooted in geometric abstraction, the design explores the relationship between shapes and patterns, achieving a perfect balance that embodies both unity and duality.

In addition, Yok Joaquin's Ten of Hearts is an exclusive card in the Harmony edition. Which brings a vibrant pop-art style to the deck. With bold colors, playful figures, and imaginative modern elements, making it a unique addition available only in this edition of the Bicycle Sari-Sari deck.
