Background of the deck:
When I met Ben GROSS four year ago, I offered him as a gift to choose one of my tarots published. He instantly retained the Jean Pierre PAYEN 1713.
Later he informed me that he decided to paint a restitution of this tarot as hand paintings.
Three years later he recontacted me and wanted me to publish his paintings* as a tarot under a Deluxe edition.
* The original paintings were made using vibrant ceramic paint and porcelain outliner on 78 canvas boards (original size 22 x 33 cm).
Ben J. GROSS is having a rather long love story with tarot representations.
As a historical tarot decks' s collectionner I am very enthusiast about the obtained result, transforming this PAYEN tarot in an explosion of colours, various athmosphers and very emotional little paintings.
This artistic creation "Tarot de Rivesaltes"** remains anyway a very practical tarot deck because all lines and colours reflects the ancien PAYEN deck.
Using an artist creation as an operative tool is a privilege that no doubt will satisfy all tarot amatores. Yves REYNAUD
