CoSM the Movie: Alex Grey & the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors
CoSM The Movie is a magical new kind of documentary experience, leading audiences on an enriching and sense-heightening journey into the visionary art cosmos of world-renowned painter Alex Grey.
Grey is our guide on a cinematic pilgrimage through the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors gallery in New York City, where his vividly rendered depictions of human anatomy and transcendental imagery reflect the universal human experience with birth, death, family, love, and enlightenment as the unfolding iconic narrative.
Fusing the power of music with stunning cinematography, director Nick Krasnic channels the raw power of Grey’s art into a potent film odyssey that captures the essence of this unique sacred space, and offers rare, personal insight from one of the most significant artists of our time.

awesome.
An amazing body of work. Through the experiences and artistic vision of Alex Grey we are taken on a joyous journey into the philosophies and sciences of humanity. To have visual symbolic expressions of humanities spiritual concepts is a real treat.
These philosophies are timeless representations of the insights of many people throughout the millenia of human thought and spirituality. These are truths as experienced by humanity, antiquated is not a term I’d use in reference to them. Alex Grey has opened himself up and allowed us to view his intimate spiritual experiences.
He presented his work clearly and conscisely, nothing complicated or hard to conceptualize. I really like his honesty and openess about his love for his wife and child and about his visions/LSD experiences. He has the markings of a mystic.
Lovely the way the art is arranged and beautiful gallery. It is a place I will put on my “bucket list” of must sees.
great artwork but you should lay off the drugs for a while. Your physco babble gets old very quickly and overshadows your fantastic art skills.
absolutely breathtaking very educational really enjoyable visual and artistic,very well put to gether would love to visit the artists studio,thanks,declan from ireland
Jacia your comments are laughable. If it wasn’t for the psychedelics and ‘psychobabble’, this art wouldn’t exist. Maybe you should get into the habit of learning something before expressing your opinion.
No words for this.
These images are used by the band Tool a lot. Started with Anema album and has been a central theme ever since. It is good to see where it actually originated. After watching this I would say Tool and this guy are a perfect match, they compliment each others work nicely. Check out the Parable and Parabola videos and you will see what i mean. The theme runs through out the Lateralus album mostly but can be seen in the last cut of Anema as well, “prying open my third eye”. It is also included in their last album, Ten thousand days. One of thier band members usually does all thier art work as well, Justin I think. They did good to use this stuff though it fits so good with thier message its like they made the album after seeing this film, hum I might be on to something here. I think I have identified the inspiration for Lateralus- when was this made?
