Psychedelic Portrait Studio

Guha started combining his twin passions – psychedelic art and portrait photography – at The Dart Gallery, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, as the Gallery’s featured artist for NOCTURNE 2023, by setting up a Pop-Up Psychedelic Portrait Studio. This creative space was open to the public and featured a mesmerizing psychedelic atmosphere created by projecting Guha's images and films onto diffused surfaces. Guha repeated the experiment at Studio IDFK (https://idfk.art/) at the Gallery’s anniversary’s art party. These are a few of the images from the NOCTURNE and Studio IDFK event.

Arnie’s next Pop-Up Psychedelic Portrait Studio installation is on May 30th, 2024, at SMASH: BETWEEN WORLDS (https://www.gardinermuseum.on.ca/event/smash-between-worlds-2024/).

"My dream is to wash all faces in the varied electric hues of psychedelia so that we may perceive ourselves beyond the image in our mirrors and be surprised, perhaps, at what we see when we are touched by the light of curiosity and exploration." - Arnie Guha
