It is also usually associated with psychedelic art, especially pictorial and musical art, which developed in the second half of the XNUMXth century. It is a way of trying to evoke the experiences of the psychedelic experience.
One of the most notorious components of the counterculture and that we can see in advertising, movies or music with an underground vocation. It is Alex Gray who with his series of paintings evoke that psychedelia so that we are captivated by its acid colors and that repetition of certain elements such as those eyes. An art that usually evokes certain past times in which the use of psychotropics was more widespread.
Alex Gray is one of the outstanding psychedelic artists and among his works the themes that have to do with death stand out. His works have been exhibited around the world and the international psychedelic community has him as one of the most important spokespersons for visionary art.
It does not take more than take a look at some of his works to find certain common denominators such as those eyes that populate some of its plates.
Also build a study of the human being from the inside to take it before more gloomy topics such as the aforementioned death.
An artist who tries to project the human onto something else in their physical body to search for that mind and energy that projects it towards the timeless and the ineffable.
Una search for self and self-knowledge to understand where one has to place oneself towards the world. Gray plays with all these interests and perspectives to deepen the gaze of the curious spectator to know something more about himself.
