Hans Rudolf Giger
Hans Rudolf Giger (b. 1940, Chur, Switzerland) is a Swiss surrealist painter, sculptor, and set designer. He studied architecture and industrial at the School of Applied Arts in Zurich, class of 1970. His books of paintings, particularly Necronomicon and Necronomicon II (1985) and the frequent appearance of his art in Omni magazine continued his rise to international prominence. In 1998 Giger acquired the Château St. Germain in Gruyères, Switzerland, and it now houses the H. R. Giger Museum, a permanent repository of his work. His iconic work influenced several type designs. Foremost among these is the work by Irina Batkova. In 2010, she commissioned Dick Pape to create an ornamental caps called Irina Batkova HRG [free]. Dick Pape created H R Giger Style Font [2010, free]. Rodrigo Araya Salas created Giger Free in 2013. |
