Product Description: Every once in a great while an artist emerges who does more than simply reflect the social trends of the time. These artists are able to transcend established thinking and help us redefine ourselves and our world. Today, a growing number of art critics, philosophers and spiritual seekers believe they have found that vision in the art of Alex Grey. Alex's paintings take the viewer on a graphic, visionary journey through the physical, metaphysical and spiritual anatomy of the self. Grey's portrayals of human beings blend scientific exactitude with depictions of universal life energy, leading us on the soul's journey from material world encasement to recovery of our divinely illuminated core. Alex Grey is the author of "Transfigurations", "Sacred Mirrors" and "The Mission of Art". His work has graced the album covers of TOOL, Nirvana and the Beastie Boys, and has been exhibited around the world. Sample Caption: COSMIC ELF, oil painting on wood, 2003. Cosmic Elf portrays a Being made of fire and galactic swirls. Punctuated by eyes of many sizes, the Elf's body and limbs are interlacing ribbons of spectral, spiky fire. The flaring flaming forehead and outstretched arms and legs connect merging head, hands and feet with universal energies. This elemental sprite of consciousness seems a peculiar species of seraphim.
