Impact- Pyschedelia

Team Impact

Psychedelic art is any kind of visual artwork inspired by psychedelic experiences induced by drugs such as LSD, mescaline, and psilocybin. The word "psychedelic" (coined by British psychologist Humphry Osmond) means "mind manifesting". By that definition all artistic efforts to depict the inner world of the psyche may be considered "psychedelic". In common parlance "Psychedelic Art" refers above all to the art movement of the late 1960s counterculture. Psychedelic visual arts were a counterpart to psychedelic rock music. Concert posters, album covers, lightshows, murals, comic books, underground newspapers and more reflected not only the kaleidoscopically swirling patterns of LSD hallucinations, but also revolutionary political, social and spiritual sentiments inspired by insights derived from these psychedelic states of consciousness.

Pyschedelia was a rebellious graphic language that communicated with a select community and for a brief time excluded all others. Pyschedelia is trippy to look at, it uses bright colors and sends messages to certain groups of people. Hippies loved this form of art.

This cat is made up of many colors causing an exotic look. It is also in space which shows the unreal side of the work. 

This girl is reaching out to the sun which is in a form of a human showing the hallucienogenic side of pyschedelia art.
