I wanted to share with you what I've been up to in my studio lately. As some of you may know, I have a passion for abstract art and I'm happy to say that I've returned to it in full force. Recently, I created two small paintings that have a unique cruciform appearance, made up of bold vertical lines that appear three-dimensional as they rise from the surface of the canvas. To achieve this effect, I blended my acrylic paints with plaster and modelling paste, which added texture and depth to the paintings.
Hans Giger was a Swiss surrealist artist known for his abstract and often disturbing artwork. He gained widespread recognition for his work on the Alien film, which won him an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects. Giger's artwork often blended the organic with the mechanical, resulting in a unique style that was both captivating and unsettling. He was fascinated with the female form and penetration, and his artwork often explored these themes in a provocative manner. Despite his controversial subject matter, Giger's work has had a significant impact on popular culture, inspiring generations of artists and filmmakers. Even after his passing in 2014, his legacy continues to live on, and his work remains as relevant and provocative as ever.
