The Sacred Mirrors
by J.P. Harpignies
 he 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.
he 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.
