Alex Grey 2009 Calendar

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. Today, a growing number of art critics, philosophers and spiritual seekers believe they have found that vision in the art of Alex Grey. Alex'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.

Alex Grey is the author of Transfigurations, Sacred Mirrors and The Mission of Art (Inner Traditions).

Paintings include Buddhist themes such as 'Tantra' and portraits, including 'Avalokitesvara'. Holidays from many religions are included.
