Ein Fressen fur den Psychiater

Today is the day. I have always considered myself to be a H.R. Giger fan, the prominent designer of the alien creature. Inspired by Salvador Dalí during the early years, he have always had a biomechanoid vision o our realities, focusing on anabolism and catabolism.

When I was a child, his paintings caught my attention. The feeling was exactly the same I felt the first time I standed in front of a Dalí or Hieronymus Bosch work. I knew that scenario, I had been there, somewhere in my dreams. Giger became one of my favourites when I discovered his New York City inspired paintings.




But maybe, the most rare collection is ''Ein Fressen fur den Psychiater'', a cycle of ink drawings on transcop in DIN A4 format that were created after several months writing down his dreams and analyzing them according to the theories of Sigmund Freud. He knew that any psychiatrist would be able to understand the symbolism and interpret the drawings with no hesitation. Thats why he called the cycle ''A feast for the psychiatrist''.

The original drawings were created during the 60's. Later, 50 portfolios were printed, signed and mumbered by the artist.

Today is the day because finally I owe one of them...
