The SideFX Group Art FXhibition, an art exhibition which showcases the personal and professional work of Australia's practical makeup and creature effects artists for film and television, announces the second in it’s series of “The Art OF FX” Panel Discussion and Q&A. With makeup artist, Mariel McClorey hosting, join us as we delve into the "art" of special effects makeup and creature design with special guests: Adam Johansen, Damian Martin, Colin Ware and Emma Bartik as they share insights, tell stories and answer questions about their craft. Don't miss out on this chance to connect with fellow enthusiasts and industry leaders while being surrounded by the amazing artwork of close to 40 of Australia's film and television practical effects artists. Whether you're working in the field, a student or just wanting to get a window into the world of practical effects, this event is sure to entertain, inform, engage and inspire.
After the discussion, stay and enjoy the gallery and the fantastic personal and professional artwork submitted by the amazingly talented group of artists working in the field today. These include special makeup effects artists, prop makers, specialty costumers, animatronic engineers, painters, creature designers, technicians and crafts people with work including sculpture, paintings, scale models, casts, props, miniatures and dioramas. While some work is personal, there will also be work on display used in film and television productions.
