The Sacred Mirrors
series is a totally unique work of contemporary sacred art created
by Alex Grey. This installation of 21 framed images, consisting of
19 paintings and two etched mirrors, examines the anatomy of body,
mind and spirit in rich detail. Each painting presents a life-sized
figure facing viewers and inviting them to mirror the images, creating
a sense of seeing into oneself.
The life-sized representations of the human body, portraying its physical and
energetic systems, are both rigorously precise and vividly visionary. The
Sacred Mirrors dramatically reveal the miracle of life's evolutionary complexity,
the unity of human experience across all racial, class and gender divides,
and the astonishing vistas of possibility inherent in human consciousness.
Alex Grey has combined ancient wisdom, anatomical accuracy and post-modern
eclecticism to produce elegant, universally accessible, eternally relevant
and resonant symbols.
