“Priority one: Insure return of organism for analysis. All other considerations secondary. Crew expendable.”
Sideshow presents the Alien: Priority One Fine Art Print by acclaimed artist Paolo Rivera.
In this breathtaking collage inspired by the events of Ridley Scott’s Alien (1979), Rivera captures the oppressive, unfeeling nature of outer space as it is haunted by the shadow of the relentless Xenomorph, coiled in a dormant state. Just as the creature’s structural perfection is matched only by its hostility, the geometric interior of the USCSS Nostromo transforms the stasis pods of the crew into symmetric graves, each a window into the cruel fate of Kane, Ash, and the others. The last surviving member of the crew Ripley lies in uneasy repose alongside Jonesy the cat, her bright environment representing life while it ominously transitions into the cranial dome of her Alien enemy.
Each Alien: Priority One Fine Art Print features an authorized, automated artist signature and an embossed Seal of Authenticity as a part of the limited edition of 375 pieces. This chilling, elegant illustration is a must-have for fans of Alien and the legendary biomechanical designs of H.R. Giger.
Consider this artwork non-expendable. Secure the specimen for your Xenomorph collection and bring home the Alien: Priority One Fine Art Print by Paolo Rivera today.
