Alien Creator HR Giger Dies Aged 74

Swiss artist Hans Ruedi Giger, better known as HR Giger, has died at the age of 74 from injuries sustained in a fall.

The celebrated artist was best known for inspiring and working on the designs of Sir Ridley Scott's sci-fi horror masterpiece Alien, for which he won a Visual Effects Oscar in 1980.

Swiss television station SRF broke the news, reporting that he died in hospital yesterday afternoon (Monday 12 May).

Born in 1940, the son of a chemist moved to Zurich aged 22 to study architecture and industrial design, all the while maintaining a keen interest in art. After graduating in 1966 he worked briefly as an interior designer but soon turned exclusively to art.

Inspired by HP Lovecraft, his nightmarish compendium of work Necronomicon inspired numerous aspects of Scott's Alien. One piece in particular - Necronom IV - inspired the titular alien killer which would go on to be called a xenomorph.

Speaking to magazine Starlog in 1979, Ridley Scott told them about seeing Giger's work for the first time: "I took one look at it and I've never been so sure of anything in my life," he said.

On his alien design, Giger said: "In the first design for the alien, he had big black eyes. But somebody said he looked too much like a Hell's Angel, all in black with the black goggles. And then I thought it would be even more frightening if there are no eyes!

"We made him blind! Then when the camera comes close, you see only the holes of the skull. Now that's really frightening. Because, you see, even without eyes he always knows exactly where his victims are, and he attacks directly, suddenly, unerringly. Like a striking snake. "

Giger also designed the derelict ship, the alien eggs and face-huggers found within, the infant xenomorph famous for bursting from John Hurt's chest and the Space Jockey - which became the subject of Scott's Alien prequel Prometheus in 2012.

Giger's work in film continued but never reached the same heights. He worked on Poltergeist II in 1986, Alien 3 in 1992 and Species in 1995.

In 1998 Giger opened his own museum in central Switzerland. Insider are many of his own works - paintings, sculptures and film designs - as well as his own art collection, which includes the work of Salvador Dali.



絕響 :cry:

齊白石？ :shock: :shock:

諧仿作而已,齊白石死的時候,異形都還沒出生

可惜!
還沒看到普羅米修斯續作出現
就先走了...

死的是"人(物?)美工設計" 不是導演/編劇...

續作還是有滴~~

RIP :cry:

他的設計真的是超前衛的，看過一些死者之書的圖，非常驚人，有很多設計連普羅米修斯都還要繼續作為參考使用

實體的死者之書也是一本讓人拿著感覺壓力很大的書，翻翻就好，我沒有膽子收一本 :fear:

Dark Seed
第三波 黑暗之蠱............

可以請問是哪一本嗎??
謝謝

Necronomicon
Necronomicon (H. R. Giger)

應該是在Alien的幕後花絮看到的，雷利提到當初在研究Alien的造形設計時，作了很多設計都無法符合他想要的樣子

後來有人拿了一本書給他，叫作死者之書(wiki上寫死靈之書Necronomicon)，書中的畫Google上可以找到不少

雷利一看就說，就是這個！然後一行人就飛去瑞士找Giger了(因為Giger有飛行恐懼症，所以不敢搭飛機)

後來為了拍Alien，雷利花了很大的心力終於說服Giger搭飛機出國來擔任Alien的藝術指導

人生無不散的宴席...... R.I.P.
