monumental, Tarot-inspired paintings!
About this Event
CELEBRATING TAROT - Michael Pearce’s “Some Secrets” paintings on display in the PRS Auditorium!
Free event with wine & cheese reception.
"The personification of death, icons from tarot cards, alchemical rules, travelers, harlequins and more intermingle in the fantastical world of Michael Pearce’s larger-than-life oil paintings.
Often set in mythic landscapes of craggy mountaintops or impassable bodies of water, Pearce’s works tie together an incredibly rich group of symbols and stories in an exploration of the universal truths of human existence.
Pearce engages wholeheartedly with contemporary themes, drawing from a well of pop culture— figures wear jeans and T-shirts and play on their cellphones, characters inspired by David Bowie and Marilyn Manson make appearances and Harry Potter even figures into the mix.
Pearce’s long-standing interest in the iconography of tarot is a consistent theme. Although it is now most closely associated with fortune-telling, many of its symbols originate from European emblem books dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries, which featured allegorical images that offered moral instruction."
