  • Tryptamine Dakini – The 3D Art of Sandeep Chandran

    My art is an attempt to bring out in drawing my visions from entheogenic experiences. Ever since my first major entheogenic journey (which are always via Tryptamines, either mushrooms or Ayahuasca), Ive felt an enormous push in a certain direction for the aesthetics of my artwork. The visions I saw were so beautiful that I almost had no choice but to try and draw them, I felt like a conduit for the stuff to come out.

  • Homage To Ernst Fuchs

    Ernst Fuchs – The Spirit of Mercury, 1954.The art of Fuchs forces an examination of the Western roots of spirituality, affirming revelatory spiritual power within Christianity.

  • Woman, Neoteny, Art, and Evolution

    A facinating theory of evolution which integrates the role of matrifocal socieities and the role of art into the mix. “Culture requires brains, and brains of that immense degree were never necessary in any other animal. The human act that demanded immense brain power was the act of art. This requirement is because in art there are no limits.”
