Depth in Alex Grey's Paintings
While I was looking at pictures for my conference project, I decided to find a painting by the artist I am researching for this assignment. This one, Theologue, struck me as portraying the most depth. In this painting, Grey portrays two parallel planes with the use of grids. However, these grids recede into the painting, much like roads that go on for miles. These planes separate the human figure from the flames below and the mountains behind him, yet the lines flow within the transparent figure as well.

Have you actually been to COSM (Chapel of the Sacred Mirrors) where Alex Grey's work is displayed? It's pretty awesome...
