The Sacred Mirrors are a journey through our physical,
socio-political and spiritual anatomy. The Sacred Mirrors Cards
contains twenty-three meditation cards featuring reproductions of
all twenty-one of Alex Grey's Sacred Mirrors paintings plus two
additional transformative images: Oversoul and The Angel. Grey's
visionary poetry on the back of each card leads the meditator
through contemplation of the image on the front of the card,
culminating in a one-word theme for reflection. The twenty-three
cards in this boxed set are intended to lead the viewer through the
process of theosis - that is, coming closer to God - through
contemplation of iconic archetypes and seeing oneself, each other
and the world as a reflection of the divine. Alex Grey's two books
of paintings have already realised massive sales: Sacred Mirrors
has sold 90,000 copies and Transfigurations 25,000. His work has
been exhibited around the world, including the New Museum and Stux
Gallery in New York City, the Chicago International Art Exposition;
the London Regional Art Gallery in Canada, the Grand Palais in
Paris, the Sao Paulo Biennial and ARK exhibition space in Tokyo. In
1999, the Museum of Contemporary Art in San Diego honoured Grey
with a mid-career retrospective. His art has, also, been featured
in venues as diverse as album covers for the Beastie Boys, Nirvana
and Tool; Newsweek magazine; and the Discovery Channel. He lives in
New York with his wife, artist Allyson Grey, and their daughter,
actress Zena Grey.
