Alex Grey

    Alex Grey est un artiste dont l'œuvre explore l'interconnexion du corps, de l'esprit et de l'âme. Ses premières œuvres abordaient les thèmes de la mort et de la transcendance, qui continuent de tisser son parcours artistique. Suite à une expérience mystique transformatrice, l'art de Grey s'est orienté vers la représentation de la réalité multidimensionnelle et des champs d'énergie subtils. Sa série « Sacred Mirrors » (Miroirs Sacrés) détaille avec complexité l'anatomie humaine dans le contexte de l'évolution cosmique, examinant des expériences humaines archétypales.

      This unique series of paintings takes the viewer on a graphic, visionary journey through the physical, metaphysical, and spiritual anatomy of the self. From anatomically correct rendering of the body systems, Grey moves to the spiritual/energetic systems with such images as "Universal Mind Lattice," envisioning the sacred and esoteric symbolism of the body and the forces that define its living field of energy. Includes essays on the significance of Grey's work by Ken Wilber, the eminent transpersonal psychologist, and by the noted New York art critic, Carlo McCormick.
