Deets: Gallery 33, Show Gallery, TASCHEN and The Library of Esoterica are pleased to present the group exhibition; Arcana: Art as Divination. 

Presented by TASCHEN’s multivolume The Library of Esoterica, an ongoing series of visual encyclopedias exploring esoteric art and philosophy, Arcana features artists who draw inspiration from divination, dreams and intuition within their work. This curated group exhibition brings together works by contemporary artists alongside rare historic examples, highlighting tarot and oracle decks not only as esoteric artifacts, but as evolving artistic mediums that blend painting, illustration, and design with archetypal storytelling.

Over centuries, creatives have used the oracle card format to explore questions of identity, ritual, and imagination. Dreams, channeling and intuition have provided inspiration for artworks that have evolved to become integral to the dialogue between art, spirituality, and design. Arcana highlights how these ancient symbolic systems have been translated into modern expressions, art that functions as both mirror and map – a tool of reflection, imagination, and spiritual inquiry.

Throughout the Arcana exhibition run, Gallery 33 will be hosting artist talks, tarot readings and performances, curated and moderated by The Library of Esoterica Series Editor, Jessica Hundley.

FEATURED ARTISTS:

Meagan Boyd, Melinda Lee Holm & Rohan Eason, Michael Eaton & Arish A. Khan, Isis Indriya, Kim Krans, Pamela Love & Krys Maniecki, Mieke Marple, Penny Slinger, Elena Stonaker, Uusi, Mike Willcox
