Críticas:

"Alex Grey's art will bring you face to face with your soul and move you to a new level of enlightenment." * Deepak Chopra, author of The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success * "Grey's portrayals of human beings blend scientific exactitude with visionary depictions of universal life energy. . . . a rare artist embraced by critics, spiritual leaders, and the general public during his lifetime. Grey's art leads us on a transformative journey through the darkness of the material world to the divinely illumined core. . . . an ever-deepening visual contemplation on the nature of personal and transpersonal identity." * SirReadaLot.org, Oct. 1, 2004 * "Grey brings us an ever-deepening visual contemplation on the nature of personal and transpersonal identity." * Bodhi Tree Bookstore, Winter 2002/Spring 2003 * "A beautiful, unusual work." * The Midwest Book Review, May 2002 * "Alex Grey is making some of the most beautifully refined imagist work in the country today." * Walter Hopps, senior curator, Guggenheim Museum and Menil Collection * "Alex Grey's visionary art gives form to what shamans see only with the eyes of the Soul. His work opens portals that allow us to perceive the luminous nature of life and of all creation." * Alberto Villoldo Ph.D., psychologist, shaman, and author of Healing States and Dance of the Four Win * "Grey's work, like all great transcendental art, is not merely symbolic or imaginary: it is a direct invitation to recognize and realize a deeper dimension of our very own being." * Ken Wilber, author of Integral Psychology and The Eye of Spirit * "Grey's vision of a flawed but perfectible mankind stands as an antidote to the cynicism and spiritual malaise prevalent in much contemporary art." * The New York Times *

Reseña del editor:

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. TRANSFIGURATIONS is the eagerly awaited follow-up to Sacred Mirrors one of the most successful art books of the 1990s. It includes all of Grey's major works completed in the past decade including the masterful seven-panelled altarpiece Nature of Mind called the grand climax of Grey's art by Donald Kuspit. Grey's portrayals of human beings blend scientific exactitude with visionary depictions of universal life energy leading us on the soul's journey from material world encasement to recovery of our divinely illuminated core. * Includes a foreword by Albert Hoffmann 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
