Alex Grey









One of my favorite artists ever is Alex Grey. His images are intensely complicated and layered in pseudo transparent portrayals of human anatomy, energy bodies, and interactions.
The giant canvases encompass the human condition from birth to death, and quite a few of the betweens. The first painting I saw of his was "theolouge." A man in meditation sits in on a panoramic surreal plane with a mountain scape in the distance.

Although I prefer to create with an aesthetic of simplicity. I like to think the complexity of these kinds of interactions into my work as well.
