ssick lab - Xenomorfo sul ciliegio

Description of the Work
A fascinating fusion between the cosmic horror of sci-fi cinema and the millennia-old tradition of Japanese art. This illustration reinterprets the iconic Xenomorph (Alien) as if it were a mythological creature from an ancient bestiary of the Edo period.

The creature is depicted with a technique reminiscent of Sumi-e (ink on paper), perched with unsettling elegance on a twisted cherry tree. The composition is enriched with classical elements: a pagoda veiled in fog, a stone lantern (tōrō), and delicate cherry blossom petals that contrast with the biomechanical and skeletal structure of the monster.

Il Collettivo: SSICK LAB We are a collective of Italian young artists around 24 years old, born and raised with a visceral passion for art and pop culture. SSICK LAB began as a creative workshop where we experiment with the fusion between the iconic aesthetics of contemporary media and historical visual languages. Our mission is to explore new expressive frontiers, putting technological innovation at the service of pure creativity.

Technical Specifications This work is the result of a state-of-the-art digital mixed-media process:

Concept & AI Generation: The visual base and the compositional structure were developed using advanced artificial intelligence algorithms, trained to fuse H.R. Giger's original design with the aesthetics of Japanese Yokai.

Digital Mastering: The image has subsequently been refined and digitally post-produced to optimize contrast, texture, and line quality.
