Tarot Card Reading by Artist Charlotte Mui

11am–3pm Hourly guided tours on the current group exhibition Chinese Surrealism
4pm–5pm Tarot card reading
RSVP: [email protected]

As part of Southside Saturday, come to Alisan Aberdeen for a fun and exciting afternoon of art and tarot card reading by artist Charlotte Mui. Mui is one of the six artists participating in Chinese Surrealism. The series of her exhibited paintings are inspired by the rich symbolism found in tarot cards, something she has been fascinated by since she was fifteen.
In addition to the tarot card reading, hourly guided tours on the current group exhibition Chinese Surrealism will take place from 11am – 3 pm.

About the Exhibition
This exhibition is a response to the French Surrealist exhibition: Mythologies & Beyond: Masterpieces from the Centre Pompidou which is currently on show at the Hong Kong Museum of Art in collaboration and is presented by the French May Arts Festival this year.
The artists include Cherie Cheuk Ka-waiMok Yat-sanMui Ngo-suet, CharlotteNgai Wing-lam, AntWu Shaoxiang and Zhang Xiaoli. Selected for their interest in Surrealist ideas and imagery such as, dreamscapes and the exploration of the unconscious mind. Using a contemporary Chinese lens, they portray surrealism with their individual technique and media. The surrealist artists they are taking inspiration from include Rene Magritte, Salvador Dali, Man Ray, Alberto Giacometti, Giorgio Chirico and Joan Miro.

About the Artist
Charlotte Mui (b.1996), is an emerging artist working mainly in watercolour. Her work often reflects her own experiences, visions, and dreams while drawing inspiration from mythologies, art history, theatre, popular culture and home. Although Mui did not receive formal art training and instead, studied English Literature and Art History at the University of Hong Kong, obtaining her BA in 2018, she has always enjoyed painting and as a child has won numerous international and local awards for her works. However, after a decade of painting competitively, Mui is currently searching for her own voice and mode of expression. In 2020, she completed and created her own deck of Tarot cards, ‘L’Œil de L’Âme Tarot’, which she uses exclusively for her fortune-telling endeavours.  Mui is currently working full time at Asia Art Archive.

Please note: during the duration of the exhibition, Alisan Aberdeen will be open every Friday & Saturday 10am-6 pm. All other times are by appointment only.
