WRAITH: A

Jabir by Marie Koo

explores one of the important and influential personalities of the history of science. The subject of this painting is Jabir ibn Hayyan , the author of a vast array of literature in the 8th century that examines alchemy, chemistry and magic. He is considered the father of Arab chemistry. This body of work is called The Jabirian Corpus. Among the writings are texts that explore Shi’ite religious philosophy which supposedly derived from his master the Shi’ite Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq. He is credited with the introduction of experimental methodology into alchemy and the invention of several chemical processes used in modern chemistry. Among the most important contributions present in the Arabic writings attributed to Jabir is the importance of practical knowledge acquired through experience and experimentation, i.e. the adoption of the experimental method in the Islamic world, much earlier than in Europe. He is regarded by many as the father of the developed field of pharmacy.

The visual reference for this painting is vintage magic posters and the soul of this significant artwork examines the mystical theories of alchemy and magic throughout history.
