More-than-likely you have laid eyes on the late H.R. Giger’s work & it may have given nightmares. The Swiss-born painter is responsible for creating one of the most iconic monsters in the history of the human storytelling & imagination: the Xenomorph, the unrelenting alien species that oozes evil as the subject of Ridley Scott’s "Alien” film franchise.
If you don't know the xenomorph by name, you know it by sight: the black, eggplant-shaped head; the dripping stalactite teeth; the sleek, spiky body that can appear strangely human; the weaponized tail. The primordial creature is like Francisco Goya's Saturn from "Saturn Devouring His Son" come to life, as an alien from the darkest, most despairing depths of space. Alien is not the only time Giger has influenced film & culture. He is also responsible for creating the alien from the “Species” franchise, inspiring the original 1973 film “Dune”, and many other creepy examples in visual arts. His distinct artwork and illustration is heavily influenced by anatomy, erotica, and the occult always feels otherworldly, grotesque, & off-putting. It hard to pin the style down but it’s immediately recognizable. If the purpose of art is to effect & elicit a emotional reaction, H.R. Giger is a modern master.

•• A lot of energy, attention, & research goes into these “Artist Spotlight” posts. The intention is to bring art & artists exposure to people who may never run across their work, hopefully enriching the lives of the both parties. If you know or want an artist featured please contact me. I am always looking for talented individuals to promote. These posts can also be found at: https://beta.cent.co/@erixink
