Description
Book SynopsisThe first monograph of the celebrated mind-altering artist and album cover designer Leif Podhajsky.
Trade Review'Come dip your toes into the psychedelic stream of Leif Podhajsky’s imagination for some striking abstractions of nature – mirrored vistas, engulfing waves, rippling, melting cosmic landscapes' - It's Nice That
'Leif Podhajský has put together what is arguably the most unforgettable album cover portfolio of the last few years' - Pitchfork
'Remarkable artwork … It’s clear that Podhajský’s practice goes beyond simply making something beautiful. He evidently lives and breathes the world of psychedelic artworks, giving weight to his designs in a way that transcends pretty patterns' - Creative Review
'Leif Podhajsky's 'New Psychedelia' moves beyond the overworked tropes of paisley, fractals and op-art that have accreted around the genre since the 1960s and recovers the sense of experiment that originally inspired it: a fascination with sensory cross-currents and overloads, the liquid and the luminous, and the hidden patterns of mind and nature' - Mike Jay
'Podhajsky’s work is near peerless in evoking mood' - The Age
