Transfigurações visionárias: as metamorfoses estéticas em Friedrich Nietzsche e Alex Grey

Abstract

Perform an analysis of the concept of transfiguration in Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy and in Alex Grey's artwork. Examine the aesthetic, phenomenological, psychological, ethical and metaphysical aspects of transfiguration in Nietzsche's immanentist thought: describe the genesis of the aesthetic act, ecstatic rhythms and dream forms, human art and divine creation, the correspondence between art and life, the creative phenomenon of existence and how art imposes on becoming the character of being, contemplative and creative states, the doors of the dream and the keys of ecstasy, oneiric artists and ecstatic artists, overcoming nihilism through art, the degeneration of diseased souls, crossing the desert from death to the oasis of life, the metaphysical elements of nature, the creations of the God-artist and the Artist-god, the divinization of existential reality. Understand the aesthetic, phenomenological, psychological, ethical and metaphysical dimensions of transfiguration in Grey's transcendentalist art: describe the acts of the creative process, the paths of the visionary's journey, the artist's planetary mission, the expansive states of the spirit, the possibilities of aesthetic experience, the evolution of creative consciousness, the relevance of visionary art to the health of humanity, the prospects for a collapse of civilization, the reversal of a world catastrophe, the overcoming of nihilism through the aesthetic act, the labyrinth of pathological nightmares, the supraversive power of metamorphosis, the constellation of metaphysicians in art, the pioneers of experimental mysticism, the correlation of perennial philosophy with contemporary thought. Presenting the connection between Nietzsche's thought and Grey's art: in immanence and transcendence, in the perspective of aesthetic activity, in the artist's phenomenological circumscription, in the psychodynamic experience of creation, in the horizon of visionary metaphysics and the result of the intersection of worlds. All in all and in short: the thesis aims to highlight the connection between the concept of transfiguration, contemporary philosophy and visionary art.
