2011 Alex Grey Wall Calendars

Calendars blog — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 08:12:19 +0000

Alex Grey is an American artist specializing in spiritual and visionary art that is sometimes associated with the New Age movement. His calendar art has a psychedelic feel to it. As a Vajrayana Buddhism practitioner, his paintings reflect a consciousness of different states of awareness. The result is sometimes described as surrealism.

His images roam the internet and use spiritual symbols as much as biological references. His art plays with the grids of our modern life while never becoming clinical. He uses vibrant colors and classic composition.

Grey’s paintings can be described as a blend of sacred, visionary art and postmodern art. He is best known for his paintings of glowing anatomical human bodies, images that “x-ray” the multiple layers of reality. His art is a complex integration of body, mind, soul, and spirit. The Sacred Mirrors, a life-sized series of 21 paintings, took 10 years to complete, and examines in detail the physical and metaphysical anatomy of the individual.

Many of his paintings include detailed representations of the skeleton, nervous system, cardiovascular system, and lymphatic system. Grey applies this multidimensional perspective to paint the universal human experience. His figures are shown in positions such as praying, meditating, kissing, copulating, pregnancy, birth and death. His work incorporates many religious symbols, including auras, chakras, and icons with geometric shapes and tessellations in natural, industrial, and multicultural situations. Grey’s paintings are permeated with an intense and subtle light that is rare in art history.

Grey is a member of the Integral Institute. He is also on the board of advisors for the Center for Cognitive Liberty and Ethics, and is the Chair of Wisdom University’s Sacred Art Department. He and his wife Allyson Grey are the co-founders of the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors, a non-profit institution supporting Visionary Culture in New York City.

Every once in a great while an artist emerges who does more than simply reflect the social trends of the time. Today, a growing number of art critics, philosophers and spiritual seekers believe they have found that vision in the art of Alex Grey. Grey’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.
