Artist Denise Weaver Ross opens a one-person show—“Selections from
the House of Cards”—on August 4 at Jana’s RedRoom in Las
Vegas’ Arts Factory. In 2016, Denise won “Best-in-Show” in the
Las Vegas International Juried Art Competition. The winning artwork,
“The Jacks of Jupiter” will be shown along with a dozen of the
other pieces from her House of Cards Series. The series reimagines a
deck of cards in large-scale works on paper. Weaver Ross spent three
years creating the vibrantly colored images: 52 cards plus four
jokers/wild cards. The 26 x 40-inch images layer cultural, political,
historical and mystical references. Clubs become trees, spades explore
bones and fossils, and diamonds transform in to constellations and
celestial bodies, and hearts draw inspiration from Egyptian Tomb
paintings and the Tarot.
