Giger's unique style and thematic execution is frequently imitated in modern art practice. His design for the Alien was inspired by his painting Necronom IV and earned him an Oscar in 1980. His third published book of paintings, titled
Necronomicon,continued his rise to international prominence, as did the frequent appearance of his art in the magazine Omni. Giger is also well known for artwork on a number of popular records.
My Work
The faces that pop out of this painting as you continue to look at it remind me of the relationships of images
that aren't readily apparent when you look immediately at a Giger image.
