The Visionary Artist (CD Audiobook) - 9781591793724

Like x-rays of eternity, the paintings of Alex Grey portray a multidimensional reality where matter and spirit collide and interpenetrate. How is this controversial artist able to see beyond our ordinary world and into the infinite mystery of existence? On The Visionary Artist, Alex Grey personally teaches you the mind-expanding practices he uses himself to tap the “secret power of vision” that inspires his remarkable work. A longtime student of meditation, shamanism, and transpersonal psychology, Grey shares a four-step process to lead you up and down the ladder of consciousness, where you will retrieve the transcendental visions your soul is constantly painting. From exercises on form, color, and imagery to the energetic structures of reality to the universal source of all creation, Grey's system for artistic exploration takes you along the sacred path of art, while dissolving the boundaries of reality along the way. Artists in virtually any discipline will appreciate Grey's approach for using art as a revelatory and healing force. Here for the first time, in Alex Grey's own words, are the visualizations and creative techniques you need to explore the hidden realities of The Visionary Artist.
