Illustrated skulls & Ophite serpents by José Gabriel Alegría Sabogal

Artist & author José Gabriel Alegría Sabogal presents his new book Semesilam: The Eternal Sun & the new paperback edition of his _IAO: Ophite Iconography_. Sabogal offers personal insight into the diverse circumstances that played a role in producing this corpus, including the motifs, symbols, and ideas behind them, and further interpretations of various images and themes – Gnostic Symbolism, Angelic Iconography, and Symbols of the Unconscious among others – which have been crucial to his artistic process.Within this myriad of symbology and meaning, the Sun is at the forefront, a recurring symbol and inspiration for the book’s title, Semesilam – here identified as an inscription often found on the so-called Abrasax Gnostic gemstones, pointing to the everlasting nature of the solar orb. The material from Handbook of Sacred Anatomy constitutes a Mutus Liber that explores mystical interpretations of human remains, while A Second Nature was significantly inspired by Jungian analyses, delving also into the mysterious Akephalos, the headless figure – symbolically suggestive of both the dragon and contemplation of death – used by surrealist author Georges Bataille, who, in an uncompromising non-rational way, sought to create its own visual associative language. José Gabriel Alegría Sabogal was Born in Berlin, and currently lives and works in Lima, Perú. He studied painting at PUCP (Pontifical Catholic University of Perú) and the Universitat de Barcelona (UB). Currently, José is completing his Masters in the History of Art at PUCP. His visual work makes use of the line technique found in renaissance copper plate engraving but applied to drawings. Both the themes and their treatment José explores are essentially anachronistic and follow the initiative of developing a symbolic language that aspires to a timeless nature.His works have been published by Aeon Sophia Press (Netherlands), Anathema Publishing Ltd. (Canada), and Mount Abraxas (Romania).  He is know for publications such as Handbook of Sacred Anatomy (Aeon Sophia Press, 2014), Cover Design & Illustrations within PILLARS: Perichoresis [Anthology] (Anathema Publishing Ltd. 2016), Cover design and illustrations for Abyssinia_, by Damian Murphy (Mount Abraxas 2017), _A Second Nature (Aeon Sophia Press, 2017), All illustrations for (h)Aurorae_, by Gabriel McCaughry (Anathema Publishing Ltd. 2018), as well as _IAO: Ophite Iconography (Anathema Publishing Ltd. 2022).
