Chewed up and Split Out is bold, immersive and psychotropic. Artist Ben Toupein’s vibrant fusion of bold pop-art influences takes viewers on a kaleidoscopic journey into another world.

Psychedelic art and pop culture have long been intertwined, breaking artistic conventions with their surreal imagery, vibrant colour palettes, and mind-expanding compositions. The exhibition traces a line back to the iconic Hallucinatory production art of the 1960s and 70s, including album covers, concert posters, and underground zines that revolutionized visual culture.
