Art Medium:
Acrylic paintings.
Description:
Surreal figures are placed in abstract landscapes often at the interface of land and water. The figures on the Pip cards are naked but wear a strange partial metallic armour, while the courts are clothed. The body colours are unnatural, green, blue, orange and purples. The accompanying book explains this strange narrative, which draws from Kabbalah and Classical Mythology. The artist/author had spent many years in the yacht chartering business, but after a near fatal car accident, resolved to create a tarot deck.
