All his paintings are actual paintings, not digital art. The digital versions of those paintings lack a lot of the life in the paintings..

the thing about Alex Grey is, he has found a niche that he fits in, and it sells. he isn't moving from that niche. he has been type cast in his formula.
while all of his stuff is extraordinary both in content and technical skill, it still lacks any sense of foresight. all of it seems so planned out that any of his newer stuff I have a hard time getting into.
I want to see him try something new. push the envelope. that's when I really get into an artist; when I can see the risk they took, and succeeded in it. until I see him do that, I will view him as a man who is comfortable where is, but lacks the balls to really be a pioneer to himself and those viewing his work.
http://www.beinart.org/artists/ check this site out for more visionary artists. if you like Alex Grey, you will love this stuff.
check these out in particular: http://www.beinart.org/artists/satoshi-sakamoto/?GID=516 http://www.beinart.org/artists/michael-hussar/?GID=580 http://www.beinart.org/artists/chet-zar/?GID=531 http://www.beinart.org/artists/robert-venosa/?GID=513
this is my favorite one from there: http://www.beinart.org/artists/peter-gric/?GID=514#
the forms. the realism. the fantastical. it's simply breath-taking imo.

I think right now Alex is totally gearing himself up for the next phase of his work and that centers around building the actual Chapel of Sacred Mirrors, a large structure whose plans are currently on display at his NYC gallery...building that structure, which looks to be wonderful, and creating a community center around it, is the next phase in his work. And he apparently has a wealth of huge paintings he hasn't displayed yet that are too large for the space his gallery currently occupies..

Weird, just the other day I said "It would be cool if Alex Grey painted someone playing an instrument."
I pictured Jimmy Hendrix with angels flying out of his mouth though...

right on. i didn't know that. i hope he kind of breaks away from his mold with this. granted it sounds like an architectural/communal type of piece, rather than a contextual painting, so it pretty much should break away from his standard. but i have a gut feeling it's just going to be a building stamped with hundreds of his stereotypical paintings.
