Im curious as to what may be the opinions of conducting art with the use of psychedelics.
i find myself, at least in my opinion, making stunning art when I have ingested said element.
But, it made me question. who infact the artist actually is, me or the chemically induced strip of paper?
this question is haunting my art now, and has me wondering if the art is infact mine to say.
These pictures make little to no sense when thouroughly observed and thus lack definition.
So, in closing, is this a rough interpretation of peception or actually a degree of sub concious being splattered onto a canvas?

Re: psychedelics and art
Sun, November 26, 2006 - 5:41 PMI think the question is, who are you? Does "The Individual" really exist? You could attribute the art to acid, or to the books you've read, or to your last meal. I think surrealism breaks down barriers between self and other, just as it does conscious and unconscious, and there isn't a fixed definition of who the artist is.

Re: psychedelics and art
Wed, December 27, 2006 - 2:23 PMIt is you making the art. The psychedelics open doors that let your creativity flow, merely a chemical catalyst. The art produced is both a rough interpertation of perception and a degree of subconsncious being splattered onto a canvas. The perception is a perception of your subconscious, or unconscious, which has the valves wide open and is streaming into your consciousness. Psychedelics are the surrealist tool par excellence!
During the psychedelic experience itself, the art created may or may not be great, depending upon your control of the media, but the after effects continue to inspire. They are a long term heavy dose of inspiration, indeed!
As a young man, I came to surrealism through psychedelics. The movement I found matched the experiences I was chemically creating.
