Dave: IMG Jim Lynch Makes Landscape Art... Out of Text



jimlynchIf Carl Hiaasen set one of his novels on a residential stretch of boundary line between British Columbia and Washington, or if Richard Russo's characters had relatives in the Pacific Northwest, the result might be something like Jim Lynch's Border Songs. Continue »

Art Psalms

by Alex Grey

Art Psalms Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The power of art as a transformative path is the theme of this inspiring collection from internationally known artist Alex Grey. Art Psalms combines poems, artwork, and mystic rants that fuse imagination, creativity, and spirituality. Grey's oracular poetry declares that art, both its creation and its observation, can be a spiritual practice. Many of these writings have been shared at gatherings worldwide, especially at New York City's Chapel of Sacred Mirrors (CoSM), a contemporary sacred space co-founded by Alex and Allyson Grey. Selections include Soul Marriage, which invites the reader to commit to personal and global transformation; Guidance for Servants of God, precepts for life as a sacred path; and The Plan, which aligns universal and individual creativity. The entire text of Grey's spoken word performance, WorldSpirit, is included here. Three annotated portfolios, Meditations on the Divine Feminine, Meditations on the Masters, and Meditations on Mortality, explore the connection between drawing and meditation as ways of seeing. Equally meaningful for art lovers, the health and spiritual communities, and anyone seeking to develop their creativity, Art Psalms features over 150 new reproductions of drawings, paintings, and sacred geometry to enrich and awaken the inner artist in each of us.

Synopsis:

The capacity of art--both visual and verbal--to stimulate creativity and personal growth is the theme of this challenging collection from an internationally known artist. In Art Psalms, Renaissance man Alex Grey combines poems, artwork, and thoughtful declarations that fuse imagination, creativity, and spirituality. Replicating the style and tone of a holy text, Grey's poetry conveys the idea of art as a sacred, spiritual practice. Many of these writings have been shared as sermons at New York City's Chapel of Sacred Mirrors (COSM), a contemporary sacred space founded by Grey and his wife Allyson. Selections include Soul Marriage, a pledge that asks the reader to commit to personal and world transformation; Guidance for Servants of God, which outlines the lifestyle and view of a sacred path; and The Plan, which links universal creation to our own creations in daily life. Art Psalms is equally useful for art lovers, the health and spiritual communities, and anyone seeking to develop their creativity.
