"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 Alex Grey's paintings take the viewer on a visionary journey through the physical, metaphysical and spiritual anatomy of the self, blending scientific exactitude with depictions of universal life energy. 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."
