YEK Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 pretty talented chap. some of the over sexual stuff is a little too intense for me, but like all the old alien designs, fucking wicked. i like his "landscapes" too. he also makes wicked furniture and there are giger "bars" with this furniture where you can go to drink. i'm sure it's all scary goths type, but: RSPKT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oscillik Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 i have a couple of his books he's good, yeah. also, i see nothing wrong with his sexually themed work. it is art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascdi Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Aha, yeah I keep wanting to buy that Taschen one (I love all the Taschen–25 art books), but I agree that some of it's a little too intense for me to like, really enjoy browsing or anything. That's a lovely and very affordable book though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSFW Landscape XX Landscape XV I kid , I kid, most of his landscapes are pretty tame compared to some of his other stuff...;) I love Giger's stuff though. Fantastic.

beerwolf Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Sometime ago when I was late teens/early 20's I had about 6 of his prints on my bedroom wall. Yeah I like my dark imagery but I am on the whole a cheeful bloke, for some reason for many weeks I found myself in a dark, sullen mood which just would not shift. I realised the timing of the moods with the framing of the prints that were on my walls. The images were effecting me throughout the day, even though I wasn't at home. No doubt about it. On taking them down a few days later I reverted back to my normal self. His art is powerful stuff. And best in moderation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terpentintollwut Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 the man's great and he's insane. I have a video of him talking about his work in general, some of the stuff he says is quite disturbing. Like how he'd show his mother his works and when she says it's too sexual, "I feel shame and go change" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terpentintollwut Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 By the way, it's pronounced "Geeger", not like the Geiger counter. Most people seem to not know about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest fondles the cat Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 he's definitely working on it: http://translate.google.hu/translate?hl=hu&sl=de&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.suedostschweiz.ch%2Fkultur%2Fhr-giger-designt-den-blockbuster-prometheus ambiguous as to whether it's a prequel or not. i suspect it probably is set in the same universe he created in '79, and will deal with the same monsters, but has nothing to do with the subsequent ripley-driven series. fun and uptodate rumours here: http://www.bleedingcool.com/2011/02/24/prometheus-rumours-unbound-how-the-alien-aliens-factor-in/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
