  • Title: The Emperor

  • Artist: Justin Aversano

  • Medium: Silkscreen on papyrus

  • Dimensions: 16” x 24”

  • Price: $400

  • Edition: 1/5

  • Year: 2019

Additional Information: The Emperor is the Father archetype of the Tarot deck. He sits upon a large stone throne, adorned with four rams' heads (symbolic of his connection with Aries and the planet Mars). In his right hand, the Emperor holds an ankh, the Egyptian symbol of life, and in his left is an orb representing the world over which he rules. He wears a red robe, a symbol of his power and his passion and energy for life. And underneath his robe, he wears a suit of armour, suggesting that he is protected from any threat (and equally, any emotional response or vulnerability). His long white beard is symbolic of his age-old wisdom and experience, and along with his gold crown, he is an authority figure who demands to be heard. Behind his throne looms a tall, impenetrable mountain range, signifying that he is backed by a solid foundation, but resistant to making any changes unless he deems it absolutely necessary. Beneath the mountain range flows a small river, giving some hope that despite his tough exterior, he is still an emotional being – it will just take a lot of digging and trust to ope him up to his softer side.

  • Justin Aversano - Physical Tarot Silkscreens

  • August 7th, 2018 - Present For “Smoke and Mirrors” I am photographing 78 sets of artists, astrologers, psychics, tarot readers, and other forms of mystics from all around the world. Each subject represents a unique tarot card. I am creating a body of work focused on the existence of magic and mysticism through an immersive portrait survey and tarot readings. In the proverb of storytelling, psychics, astrologers, et al. have an assigned position as the all-knowing gypsy with profound visions, within all concurrent and historical cultures—a charged spirit of the ethereal that encompasses destiny, luck, and faith. Mysticism has a deep root in shared folklore, conjuring metaphysical manifestations across the astrological, mythological, academic and the denouement, stringing together tangents of one’s everyday reality with cosmic synchronicity.
