Pat Foley

Pat Foley’s contemporary blotter acid art carries forward the legacy of the psychedelic underground at the same time evolving into a sophisticated form of visual storytelling. No longer just a covert delivery system, today’s blotter designs blend sacred symbols, pop culture, and visionary aesthetics to reflect a culture more openly engaging with altered states. As psychedelics move from taboo to therapeutic, these miniature canvases serve both as nostalgic artifacts and contemporary talismans—celebrating the trip not just as a chemical experience, but as an artistic, spiritual, and communal one. Each sheet becomes a kind of psychedelic iconography: portable, collectible, and charged with intention.

Foley’s psychedelic sculpture is a powerful, tactile expression of expanded consciousness. Unlike flat visuals, these works distort space itself—melting icons, warping proportions, and turning familiar figures, like a dripping Mickey Mouse, into surreal relics of a culture in flux. The pedestal becomes unstable, the sacred made strange. In this altered form, sculpture doesn’t just reflect a psychedelic state—it invites viewers to physically navigate it, to question solidity, identity, and meaning in a world where everything, even childhood symbols, can bend, ooze, and transform.
