- Warholian and Modern Eden Gallery have come together in to present “Tarot: Art of Fortune” a modern day reinterpretation of the classic intuitive “fortune telling” card deck. The show features some of the best emerging names in the gallery scene today as curated by Warholian’s founder Michael Cuffe.
Although it’s roots may seem occult, Tarot was originally developed as a pack of playing cards in 15th century Europe to play French Tarot or Italian Tarocchini. Over time, individuals in the intuitive and early psychic communities began to adopt the cards as use as a tool to “read” an individual and offer spiritual guidance. Today Tarot has become more widely accepted as a way for individuals to find direction in the bustle of a modern world. With the availability of decks ranging from artistic to commercial, tarot has become a personalized standard of home libraries everywhere.
For “Tarot: Art of Fortune” we’ve asked some of the top contemporary artists to reimagine their favorite card from a standard deck, into a work of art based on the imagery and symbolism present. “Tarot: Art of Fortune” features an amazing array of established artists that have been individually selected as important figures in emerging art movements at this time. - "I'm an illustrator and concept artist who loves painting sci-fi and fantasy pictures. My clients include Present Creative, Fantasy Flight Games, Metamoki, and Cognitive Kid, for whom I've worked on card art, production paintings, character designs, game backgrounds, and others.
Most of the fuel behind my pictures comes from growing up reading a lot of great scifi... and a little too much Star Wars. In my spare time, I usually dive back into oil painting, read something, or go wandering outside. At the moment I live in San Francisco, CA." ~Sidharth Chaturvedi
