was born in Chur, Switzerland in 1940 and
counts artists Jean Cocteau, Alfred Kubin, and
author H.P. Lovecraft among his early influences.

international acclaim through their appearance in
his popular Necronomicon art books. |
He received an Academy Award for his terrifying designs in the film Alien and
has had major exhibitions of his work throughout Europe, America, and
Japan. In addition to being a painter, Giger is an accomplished sculptor and
