The Glow of the Other World
"The Glow of the Other World" is my first try on Psychedelic art and pouring art. This painting is one of the works I show in my degree show and was exhibited in the interim show "62 Hands".
For the main element of the painting, I chose Fly Agaric. It is always the dominant illustration of fairy tales. Fly Agaric contains of magical colours, it pops up a lot with the contrast to the green in the background.

The Glow of the Other World, Oil on Cavnas
To create the background:

Bright and highly contrasting colours are used in the psychedelic art, also for surreal images and swirling patterns of psychedelic states of consciousness. I experiment with different colour combinations, as shown beside. I chose yellow, light green, pink and neon orange as my colour scheme. I mixed the oil paint with PVA glue and lots of oil, to create a liquidity ad thick consistency I want. Following how the pouring art is done, I first tried pouring the paint onto the canvas but it was too thick. Then I added more oil and poured and created circular patterns, to imitate the effect of pouring art. It turned out to be very deceptive and unreal.
