Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

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 andquot;Universal Mind Lattice,andquot; 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."

Review:

These are extraordinary works, exquisitely reproduced. Some people will be illuminated and transformed in the process of viewing. I found them compelling. (Judi Koteen, Napra Trade Journal, Fall 1990)

Review:

The color plates are of exceptional quality depicting both human and spiritual forms in a variety of intriguing and thought-provoking ways. (The Midwest Book Review)
