Lot Essay:
Alex Grey is an American artist known for his spiritual and psychedelic artwork, particularly his Sacred Mirrors series, which includes 21 life-sized paintings exploring human anatomy and consciousness. Grey's work integrates the physical, metaphysical, and spiritual realms, often featuring detailed representations of the body’s systems alongside religious symbols like auras and chakras. His art has been widely exhibited and is recognized for its visionary style, blending sacred, scientific, and psychedelic elements. Grey has been influential in the art world and in psychedelic culture, with his artwork appearing on album covers for bands such as Tool, Nirvana, and the Beastie Boys. He is also a key figure in the Visionary Art movement and has authored several books on art, consciousness, and spirituality.
Grey has described Visionary Art as a movement whose mission is to "make the soul perceptible...Visionary art encourages the development of our inner sight. To find the visionary realm, we use the intuitive inner eye: the eye of contemplation; the eye of the soul. All inspiring ideas we have as artists originate here."
In 2004, he and his wife, Allyson Grey, founded the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors (CoSM), a sanctuary dedicated to visionary art located in Wappingers Falls, New York. The CoSM aims to inspire a global community through sacred and visionary art, offering a space for both reflection and worship. He has appeared in various documentaries, such as "ARTmind" and "CoSM The Movie," and has spoken at conferences worldwide. Alongside his artistic work, he and Allyson Grey have created a podcast discussing topics ranging from art to philosophy and spirituality.
