GREY MATTER

When did you start to discover your own style? Alex Grey:

“In high school when I was 17 years old and found Michelangelo, Dali and Tchelitchew, they opened some kind of doorway to the visionary worlds for me. When I got to the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, my roommate, Richard Moss, introduced me to the work of [German artist] Mati Klarwein,. So by the age of 21, in 1975, I was making visionary paintings based on psychedelic experiences.”
