Product Information

Babylon überreicht den Schlüssel zum Abgrund an die Könige der Welt” (“Babylon handing the key to the abyss to the kings of the world”). Rewind a couple of centuries, though, and devilish demons were all the rage -- naughty little fiends who were as titillated as they were repulsive. The drawing implies that the woman is in thrall to the devil, while the man is in thrall to the woman. I think a lot of that obsession came after the loss of his partner, the actress Li Tobler, who died of suicide at age 27. It’s printed on quality paper and was shipped in a protective tube so it arrived in pristine condition.

not confined himself, like his predecessors, to rendering the attitudes of bodies swayed by passion, but has elicited from flesh on fire the sorrows of fever-stricken souls, and the joys of warped minds; he has painted demonic rapture as other have painted mystical yearnings. Hutter has also applied his considerable artistic skills to photography using digital manipulation to bring some of his chilling witches and demon-like characters to life. His airbrush works became too associated with the Alien movies and even though they gained a “cult” status, their real meaning and beauty was diluted in the process.

His pictures were also an important source of inspiration for famous artists like James Ensor, Edvard Munch, Egon Schiele, Vincent van Gogh and Auguste Rodin. Giger also claimed to remember his own birth, and this “birth trauma” spawned his various existential crises.

Rops commingled elements of death, prostitution and the Satanic in his work, particularly in his series Les Sataniques. Rops, who had met Charles Baudelaire in Paris in 1864 and subsequently became a devoted disciple, thereafter commingled elements of death, prostitution and the Satanic in his work, particularly in his 5-picture series Les Sataniques of 1882. Giger and Lee both address the origins of horror as located by Kristeva in “corporal realities” and “a breakdown in the distinction between what is self and what is other. In 1832, le Poittevin published a collection of devil-centric erotic stories titled Les Diableries Érotiques, filled with playful and obscene content that sent 19th-century Paris into a frenzy.I discovered so many ink drawings and oil paintings that Giger made before the airbrushing technique in the 70s than I knew of, which left me speechless. Previously unexhibited works by both artists are also on display, including explicit ink drawings of “satanic eroticism” from Giger’s private diaries, and Lee’s new Untitled sculpture, which writhes in agony on the floor: a creature so “pathetic” that Lee deemed it undeserving of a name.
