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 made![]() |
Two 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.
