  • Visionary art

    Visionary art

    Visionary art is an artistic style based on a spontaneous depiction of what is seen in the altered state of consciousness, religious, meditative contemplation, trance, as well as flashbacks that arise after so-called “tripods” (psychedelic state) altered states of consciousness, characterized by a different perception and an intense process of awareness. English synonyms Visionary art: Visionary Art, Fantastic Realism, Imaginative Art, Mystical Art, Psychedelic Art.
    One of the creators of the theory of the noosphere and the modern theory of cosmic evolution, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, revealed the true nature and essence of art in the style of “Visionary art”: “We are not people who experience spiritual experience, but spiritual beings who experience the experience of human existence.”

    The following sections of the exhibition are NOT Visionary art directions, but together they form close and interpenetrating currents of contemporary art.

    Visionary Art is what merge art, myth and dreams

    According to the French artist L. Caruana (Laurence Caruana), Visionary Art is what merge art, myth and dreams. Like the ancient writings, it is a lost language, to be deciphered by everyone alone. The artist-visionary uses all means available to him to show what is beyond the boundaries of vision. In fact, he draws something that is invisible. The source of experience for the artist – dreams, a state of trance, madness, meditation. Part of the artists-visionaries consciously resorts to the use of entheogens (substances to achieve an altered state of consciousness), realizing their danger to themselves. But at the moment this practice is not generally accepted.

    Visionary Art is a path of feelings, not of reason. Spontaneous, not controlled by the will or a certain plan an image of the author’s inner world, fantastic worlds and creatures. The development of this style goes in parallel with the spread of eastern spiritual practices (for example, yoga), a technique of penetrating into the depths of the subconscious, an interest in the pagan and pre-literate past of peoples.

Thanks to him, we will remember and rediscover our past, who we are, where our life began and where we are going “(Amanda Sage).
