HR Giger"Im Kern grbt sich Gigers Kunst in die Psyche ein und berhrt unsere tief sitzenden, urzeitlichen Instinkte und ngste. Seine Kunst bildet eine Kategorie fr sich. Der Beweis dafr liegt in der Intensitt seines Werks und seiner Vorstellungskraft, die ich in der Fhigkeit, zu provozieren und zu verstren, nur mit Hieronymus Bosch und Francis Bacon vergleichen kann."

"Im Kern gräbt sich Gigers Kunst in die Psyche ein und berührt unsere tief sitzenden, urzeitlichen Instinkte und Ängste. Seine Kunst bildet eine Kategorie für sich. Der Beweis dafür liegt in der Intensität seines Werks und seiner Vorstellungskraft, die ich in der Fähigkeit, zu provozieren und zu verstören, nur mit Hieronymus Bosch und Francis Bacon vergleichen kann." - Ridley Scott Der Schweizer Künstler HR Giger (1940-2014) wurde vor allem durch seine Oscar-prämierte Gestaltung des Weltraummonsters für Ridley Scotts Science-Fiction-Film Alien (1979) berühmt. Rückblickend betrachtet war dies nur das prominenteste Wesen aus Gigers umfangreichem Arsenal biomechanischer Geschöpfe , das konsequent Hybride von Mensch und Maschine zu Bildern von eindringlicher Kraft und dunkler Psychedelik verschmolz. Diese Bilder verliehen den kollektiven Ängsten einer Epoche Ausdruck : Angst vor dem Atomkrieg, vor Überbevölkerung und Ressourcenknappheit sowie einer Zukunft, in der unser Überleben von Maschinen abhängt . Die visionäre Kraft dieser Bilder spielt mit den Dämonen der Vergangenheit und erzeugt zugleich Mythen für die Zukunft. Dieses Opus Magnum, kurz vor seinem unerwarteten Tod begonnen, huldigt Gigers einzigartiger Vision. Es erzählt die vollständige Geschichte seines Lebens und seiner Kunst , zeigt seine Skulpturen , Filmarbeiten und legendären Plattencover sowie das Erbe, das er in seinem eigenen Künstlermuseum und seiner selbst entworfenen Bar in den Schweizer Alpen hinterlassen hat. In seinem Essay setzt sich der Giger-Experte Andreas J. Hirsch intensiv mit den Themen von Gigers Werk und seiner Welt auseinander. Der Band enthält zahlreiche Dokumente aus Gigers Archiv, Zitate von Zeitgenossen sowie eine umfangreiche Künstlerbiografie , die sich auf zeitgenössische Stimmen und Gigers eigene Aufzeichnungen stützt.

Love all the Barkbox toys
Color: Christmas Consuela, Size: Large Dog
This is our third "Consuela"! Our dogs LOVE these toys, and they are the most durable we can find for our heavy chewers. They really like the ball inside as well. Highly, highly recommend these toys. I won't be buying other toys anymore, just barkbox.

My dog is a toy destroyer
Color: Consuela the Cactus - Large, Size: Large Dog, Color: Consuela the Cactus - Large, Size: Large Dog
I’ve had a hard time trying to find toys that my dog, Zara loves because she’s actually very picky. Ive gotten plenty of Kong toys that are well known to be indestructible but she wants nothing to do with them. Then I got her ropes and that seemed to be good for a while until she was getting sick in the middle of the night from eating all of the string. Stuffed toys aren’t good because she’ll rip them within seconds and eat all of the stuffing. I felt like I’ll never score the perfect toy for her. I found the three layered cactus toy and decided to give it a go. It’s clearly designed to be ripped and destroyed to get the ball in the middle which is actually really cute and fun to see all of the layers. The cactus arms have stuffing and of course that’s the first thing she went for and ate. I had to watch her and make sure I took the stuffing away before she ate it. And before I knew it, she ate half of the first layer fabric lol once she got through the first layer, all she’s been doing is walking around the house with the toy in her mouth. But now she’s tired and passed out on the couch from all of the fun. This toy won’t last long with a toy destroyer but it sure does give them something to do and it’s a cute toy. I do recommend!!

Last a while. Will be buying more toys soon.
Color: Consuela the Cactus - Large, Size: Large Dog
Best dog toy I have ever bought. I have three dogs, two at the time I bought this toy. It took them over a year to break through the first layer. The flower comes off first so be careful your dog doesn't swallow it. It still has the second layer so it still looks like a cactus. No stuffing to clean up when they tear into it, which makes it far less messy than other toys. One of my dogs is obsessed with fetch so I use it like a ball inside. The oval shape makes it hard to ensure when it bounces that it will bounce straight. It's bounced into walls and other stuff that I wasn't intending it to hit. Not much of a squeak so I can let them play with it for hours and I don't get annoyed with the noise. Great toy that lasts a while.

Nice Value
Color: Consuela the Cactus - Large, Size: Large Dog
Very cute! Its soft and feels like it is well made. It is a heavier toy and a tougher one. Not a plush toy. I will order again for our older dogs. Nice value for sure!
