H.R Giger: step through the hole




There are many things that trigger a disturbence in us. some of which are on an art gallery wall, some in movies and some encountered in dreams. This is what enspires some of us and those who are well known to take an interest in the the topic are outcast as “emo’s” or “goths”.

I am talking about artwork, such as like that of H,R Giger, the Swiss artist who designed the creature out of the movie Alien (I have one of his pictures as my header) and little other concept art for other movies. I am an Artist and I draw similar things such as him, which has led me to him being my source of inspiration. I adore his artwork. It has a sense of prowess, imagination, emotion, dreaming and sometimes fear and unexceptance of new stages in life. This I think are messages to the people who just simply glimpse at it and dismiss it as “disturbing”. The message is sort of telling them to step through the hole to realise and be in the picture and discover the panorama of it all. I wouldn’t call it disturbing. I would think of it as emotion and feeling in a physical manifestation.

If you think about it, it’s pretty amazing.
