H.R Giger is a surrealist artist and sculptor who personifies true terror and nightmarish entities on canvas. His all round theme is monochrome, preferring to make use of the airbrush.
His influences include Macabre, which can be seen in his work, but in a different aspect. A common trait in his work is the manipulation of the human body, giving them mechanical attributes, also, all his work surrounds itself around Lust.
The use of bare bones in his work is very minimal, taking Macabre in a more new, and transformed approach.
In this piece, Giger has managed to combine the organic with the mechanical, creating a hybrid creature that manages to invoke uneasiness, something that Macabre paintings from the 1400's were very well known to do.
Giger was influenced by the Macabre, and from that, came this xenomorphic style that portrays the inner workings of his mind.
I feel the need to immerse myself deeper into every possible sub-category of the macabre, Giger's work is partially why I chose this title for this assignment, due to the fact that the human body is one of the most diverse canvases one can work on.
