Brothers of the Abyss: Dennis and Terence McKenna Painting by Timothy White

Painting: Acrylic on Canvas.

This dyptic painting offers a fanciful interpretation of the entheogenic pioneering work of Dennis McKenna (left panel) and Terence McKenna (right), who took radically different approaches to promoting the use of entheogenic plant medicine. Dennis is shown near a pile of ayahuasca, while a Kofan ayahuasquero cooks the psychedelic tea, and Terence is shown holding magic mushrooms, surrounded by chimpanzees who also hold mushrooms.
