Alex and Allyson Grey
Members: Universal Awakening Board of Advisors
Alex Grey is best known for his paintings which X-ray the multiple dimensions of reality, interweaving the physical and biological anatomy with psychic and spiritual subtle energies. Grey's visual meditation on the nature of life and consciousness, the subject of his art is contained in the monograph entitled Sacred Mirrors: The Visionary Art of Alex Grey (Inner Traditions), published in five languages. His second book, The Mission of Art (Shambhala), reflects on art as a spiritual practice. Transfigurations is Grey's second monograph and most recent book, which takes the reader through the history of his artistic life through his most recent works. Grey's art has been exhibited worldwide including a mid-career retrospective at The Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego, the Sao Paolo Bienniale, The Grande Palaise, Paris, and solo exhibition in Tokyo to accompany the Japanese translation of his book Sacred Mirrors. Grey taught art at Rhode Island School of Design, Philadelphia College of Art, and for ten years at New York University. Grey's art work has been used as album art for such multi-platinum bands as Nirvana, Beastie Boys, Tool (Grammy award winner), and String Cheese Incident where their recent album art won Grey a Jammy Award.
Allyson Grey's textural oil paintings and watercolors are mind bogglingly labor intensive fields of spectral squares. Allyson was born in 1952 in Baltimore, Maryland and received a Bachelors and a Masters Degree in Fine Arts from Tufts University, attending Tufts and the Boston Museum School simultaneously. She taught art at the Museum School and Tufts University and exhibited at Stux Gallery, O.K. , Harris Gallery, White Columns, The Clocktower in New York City, in Boston, San Francisco and throughout the U.S. Her paintings have been collected by many corporations and individuals. Commissions of Allyson Grey's permanent public works include a thirty foot mural at the First Bank of Lowell, Massachusetts, and a large scale oil painting installation in Cambridge, Massachusetts. She paints and collaborates with her husband, artist, Alex Grey, and beautiful actress daughter, Zena Lotus, in Brooklyn, New York.
