Art and Tarot come together beautifully in Paco Cao’s newest project Eternal Rest.
Cao has created his own Tarot deck of forty cards in which he actively melds the past with the present, and future.
Thirty-two of the cards feature contemporary images of late greats Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Amy Winehouse, and Kurt Cobain fused with historical portraits by European Masters.
The remaining eight cards show symbols inspired by art of the renaissance and baroque periods.
Not only are paintings of the cards to be displayed at Cao’s show in New York City (and later in Rovereto, Italy), he’ll be doing private one-on-one readings with visitors who might want to connect with the stars.
You can get both a reading for yourself, as well as the opportunity to ‘contact the spirit of your idols and help them to find the enlightened path to eternal rest.’
How great is that!? An art show, a Tarot reading, and a chance to help the departed.
Eternal Rest will be at (ART)Amalgamated in NYC from October 30th through November 10th. Visit Cao’s Eternal Rest website to book a reading, and to learn more about the show.
