Today, I decided to post about someone other than me! So, I decided to start an Artist Feature. Periodically I will write about an artist that I've discovered and want to share.
The first artist I would like to write about is Masha Falkov. Last night, a close friend brought me this amazing tarot deck that completely blew me away. This deck is called the Post-psychedelic Cyberpunk Tarot 4th Addition - In Color! (That's what it says on the booklet!!) It's a remarkable, colorful assortment of images forming a non-traditional tarot deck, or as the artist puts it, "It is actually a catalogue of some of the worlds's most strange and facinating ideas, designed to open new doors of perception and thought."
The deck features images of space, technology (and it's mythology), culture, and history. The artwork is, let's just say it, insane. It's loose and yet poinent, and each card perfectly embodies the meaning. I am just so awestruck by this deck I practically squealed when I first saw it. It came with a few large cards of random artwork by the artist and a instruction booklet (which I read in one go, it was that interesting).
"It is my belief that if we understand that our life experience is not merely a cut'n'dry reality, but a vast tapestry influenced by culture, imagination, the tools we use, and a history of billions of years, our life becomes something richer." - Masha Falkov
