Renown for his monochromatic dystopian landscapes, perverse creatures and machines fused to organic beings,
H. R. Giger is recognized as one of the worldβs foremost artists of Fantastic Realism. Born in 1940 to a chemistβs family in Chur, Switzerland, he moved in 1962 to Zurich, where he studied architecture and industrial design at the School of Applied Arts. By 1964 he was producing his first artworks, mostly ink drawings and oil paintings, resulting in his first solo exhibition in 1966, followed by the publication and world-wide distribution of his first poster edition in 1969. Shortly after, he discovered the airbrush and, along with it, his own unique freehand painting style, leading to the creation of many of his most well known works, the surrealistic Biomechanical dreamscapes, which formed the cornerstone of his fame. To date, more than 20 books have been published about Gigerβs art.
Gigerβs most famous book, Necronomicon, published in 1977, served as the visual inspiration for director Sir Ridley Scottβs ground-breaking science-fiction thriller ALIEN. One year later, H.R. Giger created two of the most iconic pieces of film art in motion picture history. Labeled the βDerelictβ and βSpace Jockeyβ their originality and influence became landmarks in both the film and fine art worlds.
"Giger surely has one of the most original visions in late 20th-century art."
β Clive Barker

The Krah π¬π§ Graffiti Artist, Artwork For Sale & Wanted, by thekrah on Nov 17, 2014 17:56:47 GMT 1, Thanks to all of you that came to the show.
Was really proud to have my artwork along side H.R. Giger's, have been a big fan of his work since I was a teenager.
For all of you that didn't make it to the show you can buy my Minotaur prints from my on-line shop here: thekrah.yokaboo.com/all/
About the Artwork:
66X86 cm Limited edition Giclee Print,
Giclee Art Print on Somerset Enhanced Velvet 255gsm
signed and numbered by the artist. sold unframed.
Title: The Minotaur
Artist: The Krah
Through this series of paintings we can see the strong relationship with the artist and history, his visual references to historical periods demonstrate how his Greek upbringing captured his imagination.
Encyclopedias, illustrated children books, documentary, museum visits and hours of researching images have inspired him to create such conceptual imagery.
It seems that the violent nature of humanity and a corrupt society full of civil disobedience is the main focus. The English artist William Hogarth's depiction of London Streets in Georgian times, streets frequented by alcoholics, opium junkies, prostitutes, the infamous Gin riots, homeless buskers, greedy politicians, compulsive gamblers and the pompous elite classes formed the inspiration for this illustrative painting. Hogarth's paintings disgusted the aristocracy, instead paintings portraying the elite view of a utopian romantic society were desired, much in contrast with the realty of the times they were living in.
With this mind set The Krah symbolizes modern society as a city prison labyrinth.
In the maze hundreds of characters illustrate today's society. Characters from different ages are depicted in a violent world whose savage figures symbolize the constant struggle among the the classes of contemporary society.
A world governed by fear, fear of the state. In Ancient Greece the Minotaur was the symbol of that fear, a mutant guardian of the Labyrinth: the big brother watching your every move.
Examining in detail we see the fight for survival, humanity in its instinctive nature, an animal wild full of brutality, sexual crimes, disobedience and disorder in a heavily controlled society. After centuries of trying to control the masses from the ancient times till now, the system of control is no longer working.
Visual references to Hieronymus Bosch are evident as this is a contemporary version of Bosh's hell.
Each time you look at this painting you see something new, stories layered in stories. Everyone is looking for Wally.

In the heart of Bristol's most bohemian district, I am showing lots of my new surreal paintings in the Arts house in Stokes Croft.
'In my recent paintings I create pop-surreal images, my new paintings are a series of paintings focusing on revising ancient myths, giving them a contemporary twist in a surreal and Neo-mythological way. Inspired by old masters such as Hieronymus Bosch and William Holgarth.
Throughout art history from the ancient time till now, Art keeps reflecting humanity and some reoccurring themes such as religion, violence, sex and death are the most popular imagery in art history. I focus on subjects like them and many more creating complex illustrations that hide lots of different story's in each image.
I am interested in the weird and the bizarre creating a visual freak show to entertain the viewer, hypnotising them as they become the explorers of my subconscious imaginarium.'
For international subscribers and those who canβt make it to the show, please email hello@thekrah.com and request a catalogue

The Krah π¬π§ Graffiti Artist, Artwork For Sale & Wanted, by thekrah on Mar 17, 2015 15:02:33 GMT 1, My work is neo surreal and very illustrative. There is a contrast of the old and the new in my work, as I paint on rusty metal, old wood, mirrors and using old antique frames: combining the vintage and the modern.
