Alex Grey (b. 1953) Young and Old, 2002 Acrylic on canvas 20 x 16 inches (50.8 x 40.6 cm) Signed and dated lower right: Alex Grey 2002 Signed, titled, and dated on the reverse: Young & Old / by Alex Grey © / 2002 PROVENANCE: The artist; Private collection, Canada, acquired from the above. Young and Old captures the interconnectedness and cyclical nature of human life, portraying a child and an elder side by side in his signature anatomical style. The figures are rendered with layers of skeletal, muscular, and energetic systems, emphasizing the continuity and shared essence of all stages of life. Vibrant energy fields radiate from each figure, symbolizing the unbroken connection between youth and age, as well as the inherent wisdom within the life cycle. Young and Old invites viewers to reflect on themes of mortality, growth, and the spiritual bonds that transcend physical aging, encapsulating Grey’s vision of the human journey as part of a larger, interconnected spiritual experience.
