Appearing in our auction for the first time, this Original poster advertising the Alex Grey Sacred Mirror Series Exhibition, held at the The Stux Gallery in Boston during spring 1986, which showcased many works by artist Alex Grey.
This poster features a full color painting "Psychic Energy System (Detail)" from Alex Grey's book of the same name (multi-chakras / invisible man).
Stux Gallery featured a solo exhibit of Alex’s paintings where the iconic works Kissing, Copulating, and eighteen foot long Journey of the Wounded Healer were first shown.
A review by Carlo McCormick appeared in ARTFORUM, September 1986: "While the group of paintings exhibited here were actually about love and positive energies, the lack of sentimentality in Grey’s execution, and his graphic, scientific dissection of what is normally rendered as sensuous flesh, tend to make them appear more coldly distanced. Yet these are in fact extremely passionate works, and it is only Grey’s inquisitiveness, his desire to understand the cosmic meta-structure of humanity, that drives him to such a rigorously detailed account of the typically unseen."
"Grey's Sacred Mirrors are portraits of the human being in a universal sense, attempting to address every aspect of the body and spirit."
– Marcia Tucker
Founder and former Director of The New Museum, NYC.
"Alex Grey is seeing with my eyes."
– Timothy Leary
Philosopher and author.
