"Work Nr. 217 ELP I (Brain Salad Surgery)" is an airbrushed painting by Swiss artist H.R. Giger, best known for his biomechanical and surreal art. The artwork, completed in 1973, features a pale woman with closed eyes, adorned with an intricate headdress and a silver headband. Giger's signature biomechanical elements are evident in the woman's textured skin and the flowing tendrils of her hair. The artwork, with its unsettling blend of beauty and grotesqueness, is typical of Giger's style and is a striking example of his vision of a dystopian future.
