Contextual Studies:Critical Comparison Of Artists

Michael Broom and H R Giger

Michael Broom
In this Picture his Alien is presented as quite a wet, slimy being which seems sort of brittle but has the ability to move fast, his use of dark colours suggest that this creature is most likely evil in the way that it would attack people also the fact that its mouth is split open dehumanises it and makes it seem as a unknown being as there are no creatures that i'm aware of that split there mouth like that, making the whole concept of it even creepier.
H R Giger
Gigers creature contrasts a fair bit for a variety of reasons. The first thing that came to mind for me was its colour as it looks like bone, this makes me believe that the creature could be dead, like a preserved fossil. Another thing that draws my attention is its human like hands. The drastic change from its hands to its face create a mystery around it as it seems completely unknown but also part human. Although in Gigers picture his creature is a fairly bright colour in comparison to Brooms, Gigers still looks quite sinister due to the teeth as well as the dark
background.
