Transfiguraciones (Spanish Edition)

Literature & Fiction

ITI en Espanol

This unique series of paintings takes the viewer on a graphic, visionary journey through the physical, metaphysical, and spiritual anatomy of the self. From anatomically correct rendering of the body systems, Grey moves to the spiritual/energetic systems with such images as "Universal Mind Lattice," envisioning the sacred and esoteric symbolism of the body and the forces that define its living field of energy. Includes essays on the significance of Grey's work by Ken Wilber, the eminent transpersonal psychologist, and by the noted New York art critic, Carlo McCormick.

Sacred Mirrors: The Visionary Art of Alex Grey

Religion & Spirituality

Esta serie única de pinturas lleva al espectador a un viaje gráfico y vionario a través de la anatomía física y metafísica del ser. En su exploración dentro de la naturaleza del hombre/mujer, Alex Grey retrata el sistema nervioso, el vascular, el esqueleto y demás sistemas corporales con un realismo desmenuzador y anatómicamente exacto. Después pasa a los sistemas espirituales/energéticos con imágenes como el Entramado de la Mente Universal, visualizando el simbolismo esotérico y sagrado del cuerpo y las fuerzas que definen su campo de energía viviente. Los Espejos Sagrados, presentados aquí en su totalidad, han sido exhibidos por todo el mundo. Las figuras son de tamaño natural y se enfrentan difectamente al espectador para conseguir, precisamente, el efecto de espejo: permaneciendo frente a ellos el espectador puede "ver dentro" de sí mismo. Además, Grey ha pintado los diferentes sistemas en un estado ideal y saludable para que puedan funcionar como ayuda en la curación mediante visulizaciones o meditación. Al retratar los diferentes sexos y razas, Espejos Sagrados también nos cuestiona sobre cómo nos vemos reflejados en dos demás. Los ensayos de Ken Wilber, eminente psicólogo transpersonal, y del destacado crítico de arte de Nueva York, Carlo McCormick, exploran el elemento espiritual del arte desde el punto de vista de la Filosofía Eterna y trazan el desarorollo del trabajo de Grey--incluyendo sus representaciones de arte--junto con el sendero del artista/chamán. Por su parte, el propio Grey explica la concepción, construcción y simbolismo de Espejos Sagrados y otros cuadros (reproducidos en este libro) de su rico y variado trabajo, incluyendo Gaia: El Alma del Mundo, interpretado como el árbol o la membrana de la vida que toma parte en el continuo ciclo de nacimiento, susteno y muerte; y el Viaje del Sanador Herido, que describe el descenso chamánico, la desintegración y tansmutación del Ser. Fascinado desde la adolescencia con los temas de la mortalidad y la polaridad, Alex Grey ve en la anatomía humana un microcosmos de los muchos sistemas y niveles de orden en la naturaleza. El pintor pasó vaiors años en una escuela de medicina estudiando la anatomía humana con un interés especial en la interconexión del cuerpo con la mente y el espíritu. Su trabajo se ha exhibido en las Galerías Stux de Nueva York y Boston; en el New Museum de Nueva York; en el Museo de Arte de la Universidad de California en Santa Barbara; en la Exposición de Arte Internacional de Chicago; en la Galería Regional de Arte de Londres en Canadá; en el Gran Palacio de París; en la Bienal de Sao Paulo, Brasil, y en numerosas otras exposiciones.

Transfigurations

The power of art as a transformative path is the theme of this inspiring collection from internationally known artist Alex Grey. Art Psalms combines poems, artwork, and "mystic rants" that fuse imagination, creativity, and spirituality. Grey’s oracular poetry declares that art, both its creation and its observation, can be a spiritual practice. Many of these writings have been shared at gatherings worldwide, especially at New York City’s Chapel of Sacred Mirrors (CoSM), a contemporary sacred space co-founded by Alex and Allyson Grey. Selections include "Soul Marriage," which invites the reader to commit to personal and global transformation; "Guidance for Servants of God," precepts for life as a sacred path; and "The Plan," which aligns universal and individual creativity. The entire text of Grey’s spoken word performance, "WorldSpirit," is included here. Three annotated portfolios, "Meditations on the Divine Feminine," "Meditations on the Masters," and "Meditations on Mortality," explore the connection between drawing and meditation as ways of seeing. Equally meaningful for art lovers, the health and spiritual communities, and anyone seeking to develop their creativity, Art Psalms features over 150 new reproductions of drawings, paintings, and sacred geometry to enrich and awaken the inner artist in each of us.

The Visionary Artist: Visualizations for Creative Exploration

SOUNDS TRUE.

The Mission of Art

This is an inspirational book about art's power to bring about personal catharsis and spiritual awakening. Alex Grey's reflections combine his extensive knowledge of art history and his own first-hand experiences in creating art on the boundaries of consciousness. Included are practical techniques and exercises that can be used to explore the spiritual dimension of art. Challenging and thought-provoking, The Mission of Art will be enjoyed by everyone who has ever contemplated the deeper purpose of artistic expression.

Shambhala

Anyone who attempts self-expression through art has touched the "secret power of vision" from which all great art flowers. The artist Alex Grey, who has evoked awe, rapture, and controversy over the past 20 years, is our preeminent explorer of this deep realm where creativity and divinity merge. On The Visionary Artist, Grey's first work on audio, he personally guides us to these mystical places through a full curriculum of intensive, mind-expanding visualizations. A longtime student of meditation, shamanism, and transpersonal psychology, Grey leads listeners up and down the ladder of consciousness to retrieve the transcendental visions our souls are constantly painting. From exercises on form, color, and imagery-to the energetic structures of reality-to the universal source of all creation, Grey's system for artistic exploration guides us along the sacred path of art, while dissolving the boundaries of reality along the way. Artists in virtually any discipline will appreciate Grey's view of art as a revelatory and healing force. The Visionary Artist plunges us into a mystery that is at least 40,000 years old: the true mission of art in human experience.
