What Is Visionary Art?
Visionary art is art that purports to transcend the physical world and portray a wider vision of awareness including spiritual or mystical themes, or is based in such experiences – Wikipedia
Over the last two decades, the Visionary Art movement has exploded in exponential growth…
As humanity comes into awareness of a higher consciousness as a whole, we see the masses are more and more drawn towards art and music that carries the essence of elevated consciousness and deeper meaning.
Music Festivals and Visionary Art
One major catalyst for the widespread appreciation for Visionary Art Is the blossoming of music festivals and festival culture worldwide.
Music lovers from all walks of life are participating in multiple day campout festivals by the hundreds thousands. Maybe even millions. People come out to these festivals to free themselves from mundane life in the matrix and their daily grind.
These transformational gatherings are a place for people to come together in a sense of free spirited appreciation for life. Festival heads are looking for a refreshing approach to music, art, and creativity.

These festivals often steer away from the mainstream path of commercialized music but towards a limitless world of new sonic territory.
The people that enjoy these new sounds are also often enamored with visual art that push the boundaries of familiar pop art.
Hence, the new generation of Visionary Artists
These artists may have pushed the limits of their own consciousness through the use of mind expanding plant medicines and various psychedelics. From this fertile soil of creativity, groundbreaking styles of art begin to emerge, and leading the charge is none other than Alex Grey.

A living Master, Alex Grey has traveled the inter-dimensional portals through time and space and returned with works of art that boggle the mind and create the highest sense of awe. He morphs his command of human anatomy and subtle energy fields to create a visual that pushes the limits of imagination.
Toward the end of his college years in the late 70’s, Alex embarked on his journey of creating psychedelic Visionary Art after taking LSD with his wife, Allyson.
Over the next four decades, Alex has created his legendary catalogue of paintings and books that have established him as the top artist in the visionary art world.
As he credits painters from many centuries past, Alex himself creates timeless pieces of art that tell the story of humanity from his elevated perspective. His imagery speaks to our deeper longings of soul searching and bridges the gap into the spirit and metaphysical world.
The depth of the profound message through his paintings has landed his art with major music artists like Tool, The Beastie Boys, and Nirvana for their live shows and album covers .
Having been at it for so long, Alex has spawned a new cultural movement and inspired hundreds, if not thousands of emerging artists to create art using their Higher Vision.
If you have attended a music festival (especially a West Coast Festival) in the last ten years or so you have surely stopped into the art galleries which are a staple at these transformative events.
In these art tents you can learn so much about the subsequent generations of artists following Alex such as Luke Brown, Carey Thompson, Amanda Sage, Chris Dyer, Android Jones, and so many more.
These artists are exploring the deep territory of our consciousness and higher perceptions and sharing it with the world. There are worlds within worlds to be explored and these visionaries artists continue to create and inspire.
All this being said, We are deeply honored to feature Alex’s art on our new line of apparel. So honored, that we named our company “Higher Vision” after his piece featuring the Cannabis Leaf.
It is our mission to do our part in spreading healing, positivity, and creativity through Cannabis and Art. We look forward to supporting more artists and creating more forward thinking clothing and merchandise. Thank you for coming along with us on the journey and co-creating a new future world of Visionary Art.
