If a mountain landscape painted in oils is boring to you or if realistic portraiture make you yawn then you might find alternative art a refreshing change. Visionary art is often spiritually inspired. Angels and gods are depicted in fantastic detail in paintings and drawings.
Some visionary art is derived from science fiction and fantasy.
In fact, it is the visionary artists that produce the artwork for the covers of science fiction and fantasy books. From Hieronymus Bosch's bizarre paintings in the 15 th century to Salvador Dali to today's digital artists, visionary art is a fascinating and growing painting style. At the other end of the spectrum is underground art. Underground art often seems to be a counter-cultural backlash against mainstream art and mainstream culture. If the mainstream religion is Christianity, for example, then underground religious art is distinctly anti-Christian.
