leading from
The Blackpool Tower Circus illustration for The Radio Times for August 24th 1974 |
a) Realisation
August
25th 2018, on Graeme Wood's Twitter page, I noticed that a Radio Times
page with an illustration for for the Blackpool Tower Circus had been
posted. I realised immediately that Giger had somehow seen it and
decided to reference it in one of his paintings. After a while that day I
came to the realisation that it would have been Cabinet Door For Mia
(work 414) from 1979. Below are the comparisons to be madeTwo images side by side. Radio Times illustration reversed, next to Giger's painting. |
b) Two seals
The
two seals becomes a pair of dildos while the snout of the higher up of
the pair becomes a tongue like form between Mia's legs.
c) Bowler Hat and banner
The
outer circle around the words on the poster and brim of the bowler hat
becomes a pair of horns coming out of the side of Mia's head. The crown
of the bowler hat also becomes Mia's hair.
d) Elephants
Elephant
trunks become a warped bottle like form coming out of an orifice in the
top of a head like form on the head with a forehead split like a pair
of buttocks which would also be based on the head of an elephant.
e) Upper left corner
The black hair with a white space in it on a woman on the upper left becomes a grinning face.The R in 'Tower" becomes a sickle like hook.
