Psychedelic Artists

The word psychedelic is a neologism coined from the Greek words for "mind," ψυχ? (psyche), and "manifest," δ?λος (delos).

A psychedelic experience is characterized by the perception of aspects of one's mind previously unknown, or by the creative exuberance of the mind liberated from its ostensibly ordinary fetters. Psychedelic states are an array of experiences elicited by sensory deprivation as well as by psychedelic substances. Such experiences include hallucinations, changes of perception, synesthesia, altered states of awareness, mystical states, and occasionally states resembling psychosis.  from: wikipedia

Psychedelic art has a visual immediacy to it that at first blush may feel like a punch in the gut. Colors grabbing your emotions and swinging them around like an out of control carousel spinning at top speed, but aside the roller coaster in your mind psychedelic art can give you ground reminding you of all the creative possibilities blurping and slurping deep within your mind.
