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