Should be dropping in two weeks for the first time. I'm compiling a book of fractals and my favorite paintings/ pictures. What are works of art (paintings, sculptures, pictures) that you enjoy looking at while tripping? Thanks in advance!
 
The ones that my mind creates :D

Seriously though I always find the CEVs to be way more interesting and engaging than looking at Art but it depends on the dose your taking. Low doses at a museum can be very fun.
 
I like to lie face down on the floor and look as closely as I can the carpet or hardwood haha. Its amazing how much you can find in a one inch square of carpet! Looking extremely close at anything is always pretty mind blowing for me.
 
I once looked at Van Gogh's self portrait on LSD, every brush stroke quivered with such meaning, I found myself in awe of the artistic mind that had produced it, and then I descended into a world within the paint.

Since then, it's definitely been my favorite.
 
I have a poster of the painting Irises by Vincent Van Gogh and it's gorgeous:

Looking isn't as great as doing on LSD, for sure.

Alex Grey paintings and pictures of New Zealand are awesome (I also have a wall sized 300 banner), but spnning fire poi and playing piano have got to blow viewing anything out of the water for myself. (Except a DMT breakthrough lol.)
 
Surrealism, visionary art, graffiti, impressionism - (I think pointillism would be superb tripping) any kind of art with mad skill involved I would say although the ones I've mentioned are the only ones I've really encountered on a trip.
 
carl cox - f.a.c.t album artwork

The artwork from carl cox - f.a.c.t is an example of what makes great viewing. Also there is 3 fantastic tracks on here, one being "the orange theme" with the bpm increased. a lovely tunefull pyschedelic trance track. i would have to look at the cd to say what the other 2 are. I had a big poster of artwork - 2 girls sat on a vw beetle with a big swirling vortex above. on the right acid, and music (very important) the thing would turn into the centre like a vortex. the grain on my hardwood table would raise too........rambling now lol
 
In my parents' living room there's a painting by Salvador Dalí that they won at some type of benefit auction. It's just a very minimalist picture of a horse jumping over some type of flower (that is oddly scaled to be about the horse's size).

For some reason though, despite the simplicity, its the most moving painting I've ever seen. Whenever I'm on psychedelics at my parents' house (house-sitting or such), I always pour a glass of wine and just sit and look at the painting for hours. It has moved me to tears several times, with its beautiful simplicity. :)
 
MC Escher always blows my mind

all those paradoxes and polarities and impossible architecture

Painting, drawing fancinates me... I can play music... but i've yet to personally thrive with visual art I really admire it and deeply wonder things like do they picture the whole drawing first or do they just go from one point and think it up.

Such a cliche but I enjoy looking at hippy-style tapestries. Acid makes me crave complex patterns--textures, colors. Fine art on acid is "meh."

I totally agree with you, I have that 2nd tapestry in my room and it's a visual feast on hallucinogens (or any intoxicants for that matter).
