- 1 2017-12-05T10:51:39-08:00 Psychedelic Art Emerging 2 New Art Forms and Techniques Developed Through the Use of LSD gallery 2017-12-05T11:27:47-08:00 The Psychedelic Art Movement was largely influenced by the use of LSD within the counterculture society during the 1960’s. LSD is known to create “colorful hallucinations” which inspired the bright color palette used for these images. The art form is most commonly known to be lead by Wes Wilson, an American artist who used words inside his pieces to portray a direct message, but muddled the meaning by intertwining the letters with the image, or have them appear to be “melting or floating.” Wilson took his inspiration for lettering from the “Viennese Secessionist style” and manipulated it inside his images by utilizing other artist’s styles of art. Becoming a mash up of various styles, the process relates to the “main principle” of the Psychedelic art style; “not to deliver messages as succinctly and efficiently as possible, but rather, to engage the viewers for as long as possible.” (Artlark 2017)
