TAROT CARD SHOW - THE HIVE GALLERY

the tarot card show - the gallery curator picked twenty artists to contribute to the show. he shuffled the card deck for fifteen minutes and dealt cards accordingly (this way each artist’s true card comes up)

my card is the sun - in the story: after a very long and arduous journey, the fool comes across a little boy in a field of sunflowers. amidst the field, the fool finally feels happy and experiences ecstasy. the boy walks with the fool, asking questions like why the sky is blue. after a while, the fool turns around and asks the boy, who are you? and the boy answered, i am you. the boy began to float up into the sky and disappeared towards the sun. the sun card means pure happiness.

“i am you.”    11″x14″    acrylic on canvas,      $200
