psychedelic art

Style of art that aims to represent the hallucinations experienced while taking certain drugs, or to provide images for contemplation while under the influence of drugs. It developed within the underground sub-culture of the mid-1960s, which aimed to resist the behaviour and attitudes of accepted society. Psychedelic art is usually abstract, with swirling organic shapes and vivid colours, and may take the form of light-shows and multimedia presentations, combining music and moving visuals. Notable psychedelic poster artists include Michael English (1942- ) and Nigel Weymouth.
