Smoke & Mirrors by Justin Aversano, 2023
Smoke and Mirrors by Justin Aversano is a set of 78 artists, astrologers, psychics, tarot readers, and other forms of mystics from all around the world. Each subject represents a unique tarot card. Aversano has created this body of work focused on the existence of magic and mysticism through an immersive portrait survey and tarot readings. Combining the elements of the real (photographic) and the surreal (painting) to facilitate a broad & reflexive mixed-media dialogue that discerns the characters represented by the cards, their powers, and the significance of their presence in this natural world.
Justin Aversano is an artist, humanist, and social entrepreneur. Justin connects his art with the world around him through capturing moments, faces, and communities that surround him, bringing them together through the lens of his camera. Justin is currently based in Los Angeles.
