psychedelic


psychedelic art is a category I didn't browse through a lot and a style
I couldn't say I was attracted to it neither... because I didn't know much about it. But...
as I am someone who takes the time to explore new avenues and find something I like from anything
I don't at first (which is for anything in life; music, work, people, -the list goes on) ...
... I did browse through dA from this category ^^ so I get a better idea of it.
I've finally found some very interesting artworks I liked and because I don't remember seeing
a feature for this category (from journals or News articles) ... I thought giving them more visibility.
Let's enjoy discovering new art & artists ! especially if we are not fan about psychedelic art.
Let's see it like a chance to wide up our horizons and an occasion to discover what-in-all we like about those
artworks. there must be something...

online dictionaries' definitions

1 psychedelic

of a mental state characterized by intense and distorted perceptions and hallucinations and feelings of euphoria or sometimes despair; "a psychedelic experience"

2 psychedelic

having the vivid colors and bizarre patterns associated with psychedelic states; "a psychedelic painting"

3 psychedelic

producing distorted sensory perceptions and feelings or altered states of awareness or sometimes states resembling psychosis; "psychedelic drugs like psilocybin and mescaline"

Psychedelic art is art inspired by the psychedelic experience induced by drugs such as LSD, Mescaline, and Psilocybin. The word "psychedelic" (coined by British psychologist Humphrey Osmond) means "mind manifesting". By that definition all artistic efforts to depict the inner world of the psyche may be considered "psychedelic". However, in common parlance "Psychedelic Art" refers above all to the art movement of the 1960s counterculture.
