Hans Ruedi "H.R." Giger (/ˈɡiːɡər/ ghee-gur; German: [ˈɡiːɡər]; 5 February 1940 – 12 May 2014) was a Swiss surrealist painter, whose style was adapted for many forms of media, including record albums, furniture and tattoos.
The Zurich-based artist was best known for airbrush images of humans and machines linked together in a cold 'biomechanical' relationship. Later he abandoned airbrush work for pastels, markers, and ink. He was part of the special effects team that won an Academy Award for design work on the film Alien.
His work is on permanent display at the H.R. Giger Museum at Gruyères.
