The wait is nearly over for Son of Prometheus: The Life and Work of Joséphin Péladan!
The book is at the printer’s, I have approved the cover design, and Theion Publishing are expecting delivery of the Standard Edition to their HQ on 8th November, after which they will begin fulfilling pre-orders. The sold out Auric Edition will be ready to ship a few weeks after that.
On 28th November I am holding what could only be called a Salon to celebrate the book release and to mark the opening of my art exhibition at Treadwell’s, London, where the book illustrations and an additional series I have called Genii de la Rose-Croix will be on display until 19th December.
I am honoured to be joined by my publisher, David Beth, renowned scholar Christopher McIntosh, and the multitalented Madeleine LeDespencer, each of whom will say a few words about Peladan, the book and the art from their unique perspectives. I will be using the opportunity to focus on Symbolism and Peladan’s vision for the arts, which I have tried to follow faithfully in the art displayed, and I will also be revealing the concepts and creative process that has gone into the illustrations. The art will be available for sale in both original and print form through a dedicated website.
The Salon takes place exclusively online on Zoom and the link will be shared nearer to the time. The physical exhibition takes place at Treadwell’s (33 Store Street, London), and is on view Wed-Sat, 12-7pm until 19th December.
