O swiftly spinning 21st century Human! We've already missed out on Rumi, Blake, Swedenborg and Gibran, but we've been sent a comforter for our time flowering from the same vine. His name is Alex Grey.
It is the light that is sublime in Grey's oeuvre-which is the most important innovation in religious light since the Baroque (perhaps the last art to emphasize the sacredness of light, as well as its function as an emblem of the spiritual)-and that makes the mundane beings in them seem sublime, in every realistic detail of their exquisite being.
