‘Alien’ Visual Creator H.R. Giger Dies At 74

The man who has created some of the most terrifying, yet beautiful, works of art has passed away this morning at the age of 74.

Giger’s arguably most famous work was what he had created for the Alien series of science fiction films. He pioneered an art style that he referred to “biomechanical”, something that makes anything he works on from movies to sculptures to paintings all the way up to furniture, uniquely his.

The sad part of his passing is that it wasn’t directly related to disease. He suffered a fall recently and succumbed to the injuries.

He was a great man and will be missed.

Be sure to check out a great story of his work on the unfinished film adaption of Dune in the documentary of Jodorowsky Dune.
