The Psychedelic Vision of Alex Grey
Brittany Harmon — February 26, 2009 — Art & Design
Start tripping with Alex Grey, a most revolutionary artist. Through his series of hallucinogenic life-size paintings, we discover a whole new world, depicted as only Grey himself could create. With obvious drug references in many of his works, it’s no secret that Grey is a little far out; in fact, one of his greatest works is of chemist Albert Hoffman, the first creator of LSD.
Grey takes art to a whole new level--a spiritual one. His work can be found at Cosm - East West Gallery, located on 78 Fifth Avenue and 14th Street, 2nd floor, New York City, New York.
