The Hive Gallery in downtown Los angeles had their annual Tarot Show last Saturday night.
I always like the theme of this show, and seeing how various artists created their own versions of selected Tarot cards. The Hive always has a wide variety of figurative works, and here I’m showing my own personal favorites as I’m want to do!
My highlights, as pictured above, include the vivid antics of Stephen Holman’s “The Magician,” the subtle mastery of Alan Kocharian’s “The Tower,” and my new friend Jaime Fortunato Jiminez, and his “Queen of Wands.” The latter of whom goes by Psycho James, is perhaps the nicest “psychopath” I’ve ever met, and he is one of the original Pop Surrealists of LA. He told me that he researched the meaning of this card, and included all the historical details he could, which I feel really made his piece stand out authentically, together with his obvious talent.
Also featured at the show were McEvoy & Rodriguez, and I included one of the most memorable pieces here, as the last picture in the roll.
