Alex Grey studied cadavers at Harvard for years. His art tries to show the true medium, not one limited by visible light. Sort of like what Superman might see. Our bodies are emanating light in a spectrum of frequencies (Planks law.) All this light is leaving our bodies at C, whiles all the light from the universe is coming at us, our "light cone." We see the surface of bodies..but the actual substance of reality has interfering rippling waves emanating and being absorbed..not unlike a pool. So the next time someone tells you someone is ugly, remember that the visible light surface is just the beginning..

The artist of drawings for Scientific American for many years made his drawings super-real by emphasizing components of interest. And these were black-and-white.
