Artwork that challenges and excites us with exuberance and flare can be difficult to find. A lot of images seems too reserved for those of us who want to embrace and celebrate life. Psychedelic artwork is the key for anyone interested in wild, wonderful, and cool culture.

This exciting genre grew out of the peace movements and revolutionary student culture of the 1960s. Like many modern artwork,

it tries to show the world in a new light and it reveals the concerns of the 60s generation: peace, harmony, calm and cool lifestyles. Following on the heels of the modern Pop art movement, this genre pushed the limits of artistic representation while remaining entrenched in the world of contemporary pop culture. It has been tremendously influential. Like pop art, it continues to influence films, clothing and youth culture around the world. Its images are readily recognizable and will be sure to catch your eye!
