H.R. Giger
Hans Ruedi Giger (5 February 1940 - 12 May 2014) was a Swiss artist best known for his airbrushed images that blended human physiques with machines, an art style known as "biomechanical". Giger later abandoned airbrush for pastels, markers and ink. He was part of the special effects team that won an Academy Award for the visual design of Ridley Scott's 1979 sci-fi horror film Alien, and was responsible for creating the titular Alien itself. His work is on permanent display at the H.R. Giger Museum in Gruyères, Switzerland. His style has been adapted to many forms of media, including album covers, furniture, tattoos and video games.
Giger was born in 1940 in Chur, the capital city of Graubünden, the largest and easternmost Swiss canton. His father, a pharmacist, viewed art as a "breadless profession" and strongly encouraged him to enter pharmacy. He moved to Zürich in 1962 where he studied architecture and industrial design at the School of Applied Arts until 1970.
Giger's first success was when H. H. Kunz, co-owner of Switzerland's first poster publishing company, printed and distributed Giger's first posters, beginning in 1969.
Giger's style and thematic execution were influential. He was part of the special effects team that won an Academy Award for Best Achievement in Visual Effects for their design work on the film Alien. His design for the Alien was inspired by his painting Necronom IV and earned him an Oscar in 1980. His books of paintings, particularly Necronomicon and Necronomicon II (1985) and the frequent appearance of his art in Omni magazine contributed to his rise to international prominence. Giger was admitted to the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame in 2013. He is also well known for artwork on several music recording albums including Danzig III: How The Gods Kill by Danzig, Brain Salad Surgery by Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Attahk by Magma, Heartwork by Carcass, To Mega Therion by Celtic Frost, Eparistera Daimones and Melana Chasmata by Triptykon, Deborah Harry's KooKoo, Atomic Playboys by Steve Stevens, and Frankenchrist by the Dead Kennedys.
In 1998, Giger acquired the Saint-Germain Castle in Gruyères, Switzerland, which now houses the H.R. Giger Museum, a permanent repository of his work.
Giger started with small ink drawings before progressing to oil paintings. For most of his career, he worked predominantly in airbrush, creating monochromatic canvasses depicting surreal, nightmarish dreamscapes. He also worked with pastels, markers and ink.
Giger's most distinctive stylistic innovation was that of a representation of human bodies and machines in cold, interconnected relationships, which he described as "biomechanical". His main influences were painters Dado, Ernst Fuchs, and Salvador Dalí. He was introduced to Dali by painter Robert Venosa. Giger was also influenced by Polish sculptor Stanislaw Szukalski, and by painters Austin Osman Spare and Mati Klarwein, and was a personal friend of Timothy Leary. He studied interior and industrial design at the School of Commercial Art in Zurich from 1962 to 1965, and made his first paintings as art therapy.
Giger directed a number of films, including Swiss Made (1968), Tagtraum (1973), Giger's Necronomicon (1975) and Giger's Alien (1979).
Giger created furniture designs, particularly the Harkonnen Capo Chair for a film of the novel Dune that was to be directed by Alejandro Jodorowsky. Many years later, David Lynch directed the film, using only rough concepts by Giger. Giger had wished to work with Lynch, as he stated in one of his books that Lynch's film Eraserhead was closer than even Giger's own films to realizing his vision.
Giger's art has greatly influenced tattooists and fetishists worldwide. Under a licensing deal Ibanez guitars released an H. R. Giger signature series: the Ibanez ICHRG2, an Ibanez Iceman, features "NY City VI", the Ibanez RGTHRG1 has "NY City XI" printed on it, the S Series SHRG1Z has a metal-coated engraving of "Biomechanical Matrix" on it, and a 4-string SRX bass, SRXHRG1, has "N.Y. City X" on it.
Giger is often referred to in popular culture, especially in science fiction and cyberpunk. William Gibson (who wrote an early script for Alien 3) seems particularly fascinated: A minor character in Virtual Light, Lowell, is described as having New York XXIV tattooed across his back, and in Idoru a secondary character, Yamazaki, describes the buildings of nanotech Japan as Giger-esque.
Giger had a relationship with Swiss actress Li Tobler until she died by suicide in 1975. Tobler's image appears in many of his paintings. He married Mia Bonzanigo in 1979; they divorced a year and a half later.
Giger lived and worked in Zürich with his second wife, Carmen Maria Scheifele Giger, who is the director of the H.R. Giger Museum.
On 12 May 2014, Giger died in a Zürich hospital after suffering injuries from a fall.

I've actually come to the conclusion that his works are almost political. For example, the image he has of babies being used as bullets, loaded into a gun . . . makes me wonder if that was his take on the children being trained to kill in Africa. The killer alien itself, a twisted form of human meant for death and killing . . . his work takes on a new angle if you look at it like that.

I almost want to call it anti-eroticism more than anything. Even when you have giant phallic things poised to insert into obvious mechanical vaginas, it's literally at the inverse end of the spectrum from sexy. If anything the Giger take on carnality is to make it look cold, horrifying and disturbingly alien. It'd take a special kind of weirdo to look at the most explicit of Giger images and think it's hot. [ED: Not knocking Giger, this is very very much by design. Cold metal and sometimes corpse like machines that look built to do nothing but one role eternally is horrifying]

Well first of, you can see the influence of surrealism (and some other art styles) in his work, directly in the way he copied former artists work (0:41 artist I’m not sure but I know the painting, or 0:35 looks like one of dahli‘s work). Second he actually knew a lot of famous artists / surrealist in person, so he was able to get information and inspiration from them. Third he was born in WW2, leading to a lot of trauma / influence from that. Fourth must be his personality type (i think it was intp) mixed with maybe something on the autism spectrum and or other psychosis induced illness (from drugs or ww2 trauma) And least but not last, A SHIT TON OF DRUGS (definitely psychedelics (lsd, shrooms, dmt,... and maybe other substances). In conclusion, that’s why it’s so hard to replicate his mindset and therefore his work / style. It’s simply impossible nowadays since point 2 & 3 can’t be provoked or reproduced (and that’s good I think)

We've sadly lost Rutger Hauer last year. His infamous quote from his character, Roy Batty: "Moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain." From Ridley Scott's 1982 science fiction cult classic "Blade Runner". To me, only the bad moments in time will be lost in rain, but the good moments will bring me happy tears to my eyes when I recognize my home, where I used to live, where I used to go to school, when I tried something for the first time, you know?! Childhood memories. Ah, Rutger Hauer I sadly miss you, and to all the people out there who is a big fan of Blade Runner and Science fiction films and pop culture. Even though you played the bad guy. But, you will always be remembered as Roy Batty. 😇😔😢. Dear, Rutger.... I will always remember you as being a part of the Blade Runner trilogy.

Das Schauen des Videos, Betrachten der Bilder und Schwelgen in den ureigenen Assoziationen - das hatte eine fast hypnotische Wirkung auf mich. Eine der vielen Stärken des Surrealismus. Und Giger war ein Meister darin.
Giger's art is basically a macabre, futuristic-dystopian interpretation of Dante's Inferno. It takes some of the deepest expressions of human madness and desire as well as the suffering of the flesh and gives it all a purpose in a future where emotions and bonds have no meaning, only the primal instincts of all living beings. His creatures and contraptions (often impossible to tell apart) represent the apex of technology, the ultimate results of living and thriving, but without any complex social interactions to control them. These advanced sentient beings design, scheme, consider and discuss, and yet it all serves to nothing but reproduction and biological development... To devour the entire Universe. They don't act this way because they despise emotions, but because they are so unimaginably intelligent that they are able to understand the relation between cause and consequence of any action one can ever perform in minimal time. If you are familiar with coding, think of it as being able to almost instantly understand the logic of binary code, or even analyze the state of analogic devices with pin-point accuracy. What is the point of making abstractions, using interfaces, commenting code? None. Spread, assimilate the inorganic, defy the entropic order of the cosmos and then "flip a bird" at everything by just dying when all is done. That's all. This is the point where you can realize why it also represents a terrifyingly rational view on Eldritch Abominations. It's simple yet genius: By connectiong all these insanely effective organisms together in a bio-mechanical "circuit board", a superorganism is born, one capable of making use of a logic that is completely impossible to be understood by its individual parts... Or by other living beings of similar complexity. It shows, in a rather brutal way, that the existence of entities that we cannot comprehend is a certainty, so much so that such entities can even be brought fourth by "lesser" beings such as humans.

Well, his art is a kind of genre, so the only way most people would reference him (especially here in the US) is if they happened to see the movies, or walked by an artbook that had his work at a library or bookstore. Otherwise, he's known only because of the Alien(s) franchise.
Best Giger on KZread--thanks DM.
H.R Giger's work taps into our deepest fears its something not of this world If he studied the Neconmonicon about another world that did exist before us then this would be it.
So glad this is on distant mirrors, a lot of good pictures!
He will forever be remembered as the one who managed to exteriorize depression in the right colors and forms. Giger is so much than just Alien movie, it is so complex. May he rest in art.
Much of this material was published in Giger's "Nicronomicon", a big book with his best artwork. A collector's item.
Absolutely nothing compares to Giger. Master of the sinister airbrush. And I think he should rest firmly in the pantheon of immortals.
Thanks for taking the time to compile and share these, really interesting!

EDl arte de giger es especial... Si, él ya está en otro plano de existencia pero es inmortal por su arte. El arte del terror, lo grotesco y la biomecánica.
This is the far most disturbance and Beautiful thing thing I have ever seeing.
Damn I love his work. So clean and detailed with atmospheric technique for days
Thoses visions were clearly induced by psychedelic drugs but the fact that Giger remembered them with precision and was able to draw them is what is impressive
Thanks for sharing not seen many of these
12:35 Amo los escenarios de Giger.
I wonder what Giger’s interpretation of The Terminator would have looked like had he designed one. We can only imagine.

It is just another world drawn by majestic artist, lots of people could not even imagine all that locations and mystic creatures..
Me trae recuerdos de el terror que sentí al ver por primera ves la película de Alien. Sin duda un artista bastante macabro que no sientes la nesecidad de entender sus obras, solo mirarlas y fascinarte al tiempo que te atemorizas

Esse giger é doidão mesmo hein
I'm reluctant to even ponder where he got the inspiration to create such bizarre imagery. One thing's for sure, this guy was way, way, way, way out there! 😬
Superb music choice.
So Giger is the inspiration for: Alien. Species. Scorn. Is there anything I might have missed?

Claymore and from what I've heard he also inspired BLAME!
Went to his museum in Gruyere, Switzerland. It wonderful. The cafe next to it is also fully in his style.
I Love his Work
After watching this I had to recalibrate my geiger counter.
