I’m honored to be a part of the first extraordinary exhibition of 2014 at Hero Complex Gallery. The opening for the new year is an amazing group show titled Imagined Worlds which is a tribute show to the most prolific contemporary sci-fi fantasy film makers of all time such as Guillermo del Toro, Terry Gilliam, David Lynch, Ridley Scott, and Stanley Kubrick. Entering the realm of horror, fantasy, and science fiction is like coming home from a far away vacation. Nothing beats getting gritty with some of the most iconic visual forces of my youth which inspired my creative side with intrepid fury. I created a poster which is a tribute to one of my favorite film makers, Ridley Scott, also bowing to the virtuoso H.R. Giger and his iconic creation of sci-fi’s most frightful villains from the movie ALIEN.
Simulated glow layer.
Beery Method Studios produced 25 16×20 silk screen print posters for Imagined Worlds. The illustrated poster titled ALIEN(S) is a 2 color print that depicts two aliens modeled after the first two films renditions. The top being the first more Giger inspired alien that appears in the first Ridley Scott film which dawns the protective outer semi-translucent space helmet. The lower alien is more precisely that of the sequel movie ALIENS directed by James Cameron where the aliens sub-structures are more exposed. Beneath the alien heads is an alien egg with a facehugger alien inside and the film title anchored below. The highly detailed prints appear as a simple black and white poster in light but in the dark, or better yet with a black light, the underlying glow ink layer illuminates to complete the alien title at the bottom and create a more sinister aesthetic with the dark creature features.
Hard to photograph the glow layer in the blacklight. Sorry for the grainy photos.
Contact Hero Complex Gallery to purchase this very rare and limited ALIEN(S) poster from Beery Method. Buy direct from HERO COMPLEX GALLERY ONLINE.
