An artist known for producing conceptual art in a biomechanical way is H R Giger, the artist behind designing concepts for the film “Alien”. This type of concept art is mainly by creating art you would normally create and then thinking to yourself “How can I go further than this”. His paintings are very realistic but with a surrealist twist to them. He uses human forms and then adds mechanical elements to them. He also likes to delve into the biological with his art, adding exaggerations to the human form, in the attempt to make his creatures and characters look horrifying to the viewer. He achieves this very well in his work. And I have attempted to create drawings with exaggerations and mechanical elements to them.
