The Malleus Tarot Deck & Book is one of Sideshow Gallery's most treasured offerings, created by the acclaimed Italian art collective Malleus Rock Art Lab. This visionary trio has spent decades weaving their unmistakable aesthetic through illustration, hand-pulled screen prints, music, video, and fine art, creating works that are as mesmerizing as they are unforgettable.
Drawing inspiration from Expressionism, Symbolism, Art Nouveau, Surrealism, Pop Art, Psychedelic Art, comics, photography, cinema, and literature, Malleus has cultivated a visual language entirely their own. At the heart of their work is the divine feminine—the primordial goddess, the eternal muse from whom all creation flows. Their imagery blends the graceful elegance of Art Nouveau with the dreamlike mystery of Surrealism and the emotional intensity of Expressionism, resulting in richly layered works that feel mystical, immersive, and almost hypnotic. Every card begins as an original hand-drawn illustration, reflecting the collective's deep reverence for both traditional craftsmanship and the music that continually inspires their creative vision.
Watching this remarkable tarot deck come to life has been a journey we've proudly followed from the very beginning, dating back to Malleus' first hand-pulled screen prints of the Major Arcana. It is an honor to be the only shop in our region to carry this extraordinary deck and companion book, and we're delighted to share this truly special creation with fellow lovers of tarot, art, and the magical.
