Alex Grey

Alex Grey is best known for his paintings which “X-ray” multiple dimensions of reality, interweaving physical and biological anatomy with psychic and spiritual energies. His visual meditation on the nature of life and consciousness, the subject of Grey's art, has led to a world renown career of exhibitions and keynote addresses from Basel, to Tokyo, to Sao Paulo, features on Discovery Channel, Newsweek, Time, and album art for Tool, Beastie Boys, Nirvana, and SCI.
“Grey’s vision of a flawed but perfectible mankind stands as an antidote to the cynicism and spiritual malaise prevalent in much contemporary art.” -- New York Times

with receptive viewers,
validating the boundless state,
