ARCANA
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. The exhibition brings forth a thoughtful curation courtesy of Gallery 33 Creative Director Amber Arbucci and Margot Ross of Show Gallery in collaboration with The Library of Esoterica Series Editor, Jessica Hundley. Throughout the Arcana exhibition run, Gallery 33 will be hosting artist talks, tarot readings and performances, curated and moderated by Jessica Hundley.
