Firstly, I’d like to thank my dog, Fred Bassett for interesting design direction inspiration. At least half any potential proceeds will go towards some whiskey flavoured biscuits from him. / . / A little different to my usual style. But even more relevant on a personal level. / . / In these heady days of Google I can’t make this as cryptic as I’d like without telling you anything at all, which is no fun. So I’ll just sit back and let you all search and then question. / . / “If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things through narrow chinks of his cavern.” William Blake / . /

Revolutionaries Series. Aldous was one of the most imaginative authors of the 20th century and his advances and documentation of alternative realities are the best out there. His novels Brave New World and Island are incredible contributions to literature with their themes of society and achieving enlightenment through chemistry and nature. Heaven and Hell and The Doors of Perception are incredible books as well. There are symbols in this painting that are very relevant to who Huxley was. If you look to the left, there is a vedanta (he was influenced by Hinduism) . His higher thinking is shown in his lapel flower- it’s a lotus. If you look very closely, you can see the chemical symbols for some of his inspirations. He is inspiring in his relentless search for truth in the human condition. 9×12” Arches 140 lb. cold pressed paper, watercolors, ink. “That we do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons of history.” – Aldous Huxley

16×20” acrylic paints on canvas You never really know where they’re going, do you? This came about after reading quite a bit of Huxley (The Doors of Perception and Heaven and Hell). “To be shaken out of the ruts of ordinary perception, to be shown for a few timeless hours the outer and inner world, not as they appear to an animal obsessed with survival or to a human being obsessed with words and notions, but as they are apprehended, directly and unconditionally, by Mind at Large— this is an experience of inestimable value to everyone and especially to the intellectual.”-Aldous Huxley Original for sale $175.00
