The Otherworld is an exhibit of paintings by artists who imagine the world as another place, where alternatives to everyday reality are made manifest as landscapes, animals, and people are transformed.
Historically, visionary art began in California in the 1930’s as a spiritual art inspired by young German immigrants and the ideas of the anti-authoritarian Wandervögel movement. In the 1960’s, the back-to-nature movement overlapped with psychedelic art, and brought a counter-cultural quality to it. Since then, it has developed into a burgeoning field within popular culture. Techniques in this genre evolved from early airbrush work to incorporating digital art, and the range has expanded to include grisaille painting with old masters’ techniques. The subject matter has expanded, too, influenced by developments in technology and neuroscience. |
