RIP, H. R. Giger, painter, sculpter, interior decorator, film concept artist
anyone been to the HR Giger bar? |
Just want to note that while Aliens is his first movie, he was supposed to do Jodorowsky's Dune (the greatest movie never made). Here's a clip from the documentary of the same name where you can see the original concept art. He said it was some of the best work in his career.
Aww man. :( HR Giger was one of my favourite artists; I'm so sad to see him pass.
ReplyDeleteI was really sad to hear the news. I believer that Giger is where science fiction visual art ends and begins. he is done such a great visual work for the pop and alternative culture, that imitating him or trying to come up with better looking aliens is just pathetic. I really love his paintings!!
