Relation Supposing Books Transfigurations

The most extensive collection of Grey’s visionary artwork and life’s journey in one volume

• Includes a foreword by Albert Hofmann and essays on Grey’s work by renowned art critic Donald Kuspit, philosopher Ken Wilber, and Stephen Larsen, author of Joseph Campbell: A Fire in the Mind

• 21,000 sold in hardcover since October 2001

Every once in a great while an artist emerges who does more than simply reflect the social trends of the time. Such an artist is 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 that they have found that vision in the art of Alex Grey.

Transfigurations, the follow-up to Grey’s Sacred Mirrors (1991)--one of the most successful art books of the 1990s--includes all of Grey’s major works completed in the following decade, including the masterful seven-paneled altarpiece Nature of Mind, called “the grand climax of Grey’s art” by Donald Kuspit. His portrayals of human beings blend anatomical exactitude with visionary depictions of universal life energy. Alex Grey’s striking artwork leads us on the soul’s journey from material world encasement to recovery of the divinely illuminated core.

Evaluation Appertaining To Books Transfigurations

Its an art book, so the reading is interesting/informative. The art is transformational. There is nothing in this world like Alex Grey's art. Expressions from the full pallet of emotions and amazingly surreal.

Gorgeous. If you can't actually visit the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors in NYC, and I highly recommend doing so if you're in town, this book is a magnificent overview of Grey's spiritually inspired artistic oeuvre.

very interesting and sometimes very controversal too. I had troubles to continue sometimes (e.g. vomiting on a brain, dead bodies cutting..)

In case anyone wants to know what the psychedelic experience looks like.

Awesome book, more drawings and more writing than Sacred Mirrors. It's pretty wild, "heady" stuff, on the fringe kind of art. I found out about Grey by his work for the band Tool, and I was really impressed by his whole catalog. If you're into Tool's art or just want to see some wild visual stuff, check him out.
