14th April 2016. I took a look at Gleeson's older work and had noticed
the significance of his painting The Nerve Garden from 1946, and then
realised that it's structure seemed to resemble elements of the
structure of Mordor VI. So it looks as if Gleeson painted Nerve Garden,
then Giger painted Mordor VI based on that and then Gleeson painted his
Cape Carnivoral based on Mordor VI, which is actually quite interesting
to think about in terms of the surrealist art.
If someone claims
that Gleeson's Cape Carnivoral ripped off Giger, then really Gleeson had
every right to in this case, but what they were doing with one
another's work warrants merit.
