Alex Grey
Visionary artist Alex Grey has exhibited his work worldwide, from New York City to Paris to Brazil and Los Angeles. His work has been included in the album art of such popular rock groups as TOOL, Nirvana, and the Beastie Boys, and has served as reference for considerations about the dimensions of body, mind, and spirit by such figures as Matthew Fox, Joan Borysenko, Deepak Chopra, and the chairperson of the Department of Alternative Medicine at the National Institute of Health in Washington, D.C.
Grey's unique series of 21 life-sized paintings, the Sacred Mirrors, examine in detail the physical and metaphysical anatomy of an individual.
Grey taught artistic anatomy and figure sculpture at New York University for 10 years and courses in visionary art with his artist wife, Allyson Grey, at the Open Center in New York City, Naropa Institute in Boulder, Colorado, and Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, New York. His books, The Mission of Art, Sacred Mirrors, and Transfigurations, trace the development of his work and the mystical experiences that have shaped him. |
