Art of H.R. Giger, Sorayama stuns in Beijing
Unfolding in three chapters, the exhibit guides the audience in each section to compare the work of the two artists. In the first chapter, "Surrealistic Explorations, Fear and Fantasy", visitors may explore the early days of each artist's practice, looking back to understand the inspirations and motivations present at the beginning of their careers.
Chapter Two, "The Eve of Tomorrow, Between the Biological and the Mechanical", spotlights the two artists' organic combination of living organisms and machinery, introducing some of their most representative artworks. Among them are Necronom (2005), an updated version of Giger's initial design for the Alien; works from the Swiss master's iconic "Biomechanoid" series; Sorayama's Sexy Robot_life size seating model_B, a life-sized sculpture depicting a girl in a golden jacket, resembling the classic image of a motorcycle pin-up model; and his latest six-piece installation Sexy Robot Floating ver. 2, in which the silver metallic-skinned robots fly like birds.
