Contemporary 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.

 Symbolism, Surrealism and Psychedelic art are also direct precursors to contemporary visionary art. 

The Vienna School of Fantastic Realism, first established in 1946, is considered to be an important technical and philosophical catalyst in its strong influence upon contemporary visionary art.
