Red Buddha - LSD Blotter Art

Alchemy - LSD Blotter Art and Collages by Kevin Barron

An Art School graduate from the late 1960s, Kevin Barron has been a practicing visual artist for nearly six decades. A brief hiatus from his artwork in the early 1970s took him into the world of popular music, working for Cat Stevens and touring with the Rolling Stones.

His art form, two-dimensional, has taken on different formats over the years but his primary focus has been in the field of psychedelic art and more specifically the rare and unusual LSD blotter. He sees this conceptual art form as both literally and figuratively the highest example of psychedelic art. “What other art form can you observe a minute image on a tiny square of paper, which once ingested takes the consumer on a mind-expanding journey?”

The overall micro/macro experience can be seen in his current artwork which uses the blotter art concept as a template for his imagery. Kevin is considered to be one of the few great living blotter artists and original and rare examples of his blotter are treasured by avid collectors and highly valued.

Barron’s work has been exhibited in London, Paris, Ibiza and the U.S.A.

His first book: BLOTTO, Adventures and Misadventures in Psychedelia was published in the UK in Spring of 2024.
