Psychedelic Art

Psychedelic art is linked to the hippy movement of the 1960s, created by artists influenced by psychedelic experiences, often under the influence of drugs like LSD and DMT.

While artists had previously experimented with drugs to enhance their perception and expand their creative horizons, it was the hallucinogenic effects of LSD that profoundly impacted artists during the 1960s.

Psychedelic art, characterised by vibrant, non-naturalistic colours, often featured swirling patterns, sensual imagery, and concealed messages. These works reflected altered states of consciousness induced by the drug.
