My Take
Alex Grey is an artist I cannot look at casually. His Sacred Mirrors series, with bodies rendered down to nerves and glowing energy, feels less like decoration and more like anatomical maps of the soul. I admire the range too, sculpture, writing, performance, all anchored by his Vajrayana practice. The words psychedelic and spiritual can sound suspect, but in his hands they cohere into a genuine cosmology. Born in Columbus in 1953 and still painting his own universe, he carries a singular obsessiveness that I find rare and deeply earned. Few visionary artists commit this completely.
