Wes Wilson



Robert Wesley Wilson was born on the 15 of July in 1937 in Sacramento California. He is known for being one of many the American artist who produced images of psychedelic posters. His work was mainly used to promote hippy music concerts of peaceful drug using gatherings.

It is also believed that like many other psychedelic artist, Wes Wilson was under the influence when he produced his artwork.

I like this image because I believe that it  shows the influence of drugs and very psychedelic colours. The main thing that I believe which stands out with psychedelic posters is that they are eye catching with a hidden message. Within his piece of the man he has put in hypnotising patterns and somewhat legible words on the side. What makes up most of his work is complementary colours. I believe that the way which he made his art was not done digitally but by hand.
