Psychedelic Reverie

Vintage 1970s Screen Print – Psychedelic Reverie

This evocative screen print, born in the vibrant experimental spirit of the 1970s, captures a whimsical cascade of spheres—like the trailing wake of a spirit ascending. Its composition hums with the era’s fascination for psychedelic graphics, where bold colours and dreamlike forms mirrored a collective desire to explore new sensations and altered states of perception.

Each print from this series is a singular artifact, no two exactly alike. Few remain today, and their survival speaks to both the resilience and delicacy of the materials. Most examples retain a richly preserved printed surface, though time has gently marked the edges with the soft patina of age. These works were printed on Burnie cartridge—an expressive, heavyweight drawing paper produced in Tasmania during that time, its texture lending a tactile presence to the image.

A rare piece of visual history, infused with the energy of an era that dared to dream beyond the visible.
