Disco Inferno (2022)
Tarot card deck, digital illustration on print
Disco Inferno is a series of digital artworks made for the major arcana in a tarot deck. Loosely inspired by the game Disco Elysium by ZA/UM, this series draws inspiration from the works of artist Jenny Saville and borrows the structure of chaos from Wassily Kadinsky. All the works in this series were made digitally, but confined to being composed from only two brushes and two shades of red as an exercise of artistic constraint in the digital medium where choices of brushes and colours are usually endless. Considering how tarot card decks are used as tools of predictions of fate and identity, this art style underscores the push and pull of holding on to order and understanding of the psyche and amidst a conversely chaotic and seemingly unredeemable world.
Artist’s note: Some cards are numbered wrongly above. Below is the updated and amended digital artwork, because evidently my dyscalculia and dyslexia extends into being unable to accurately perceive Roman numerals.
