Psychedelic Art
Psychedelic art is linked to the 1960s, created by artists influenced by psychedelic drugs like LSD and DMT.
While artists had previously experimented with drugs to enhance their perception and expand their creative horizons, it was the hallucinogenic effects of LSD that profoundly impacted artists during the 1960s.
Psychedelic art, characterised by vibrant, non-naturalistic colours, often featured swirling patterns, sensual imagery, and concealed messages. These works reflected altered states of consciousness induced by the drug, with many emerging from San Francisco's hippie community. Artists like Stanley Mouse, Rick Griffin, and Alton Kelley were commissioned by rock promoter Bill Graham to create posters for bands like The Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, and The Big Brother Holding Company.

We collaborate with artists to create both limited editions and works on paper.
A limited edition is part of a unique series of pieces. Limited editions are fixed in quantity, meaning we will only ever produce a certain number.
Framing options vary for each piece and are listed on the individual artwork pages. All pieces are framed with 90% UV acrylic glass.
Yes, 100%. We work directly with our artists to create editions that accurately represent their body of work. Additionally, every artist personally reviews and approves their final editions.
Each edition comes with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity (COA) signed by the artist. Additionally every edition will be signed, marked, or numbered on the edition itself.
Works on paper and some originals don't come with a COA.
