Iain Mccaig and Karla Ortiz
The teacher and the student, joyfully assembled to illustrate "Love and legend".
Iain Mc Caig is a well-known concept artist: his cover of the album Broadsword and the Beast (1982) by Jethro Tull hit the spirits. He also owes the flamboyant designs and costumes of the characters of the "prelude" Star Wars, Princess Amidala and Darth Maul in particular. And he participated in the Revival of the Force (2015) and Rogue One (2016) as an artistic consultant. And he also designed the characters from the recent Book of the Jungle (2016), with the exception of the Baloo bear.
As for video games, Iain McCaig worked for Titanfallby designing a bandit of bandits: a collaboration that came to him as often by a former student who worked in the development studio. "In such a case, you have to ask to summarize the concept in a nutshell, and from there ask yourself lots of questions and draw the answers," Iain summarizes. The details are moments of history that are frozen on the character, and let the spectator bring the context through his imagination.
Latest project of Iain Mccaig: a book about Frankenstein, told from the point of view of the monster. A project that he also plans to use to teach, another of his favorite occupations.
Native of Puerto Rico, Karla Ortiz also works on monsters, those of the franchise "Dark Universe" of Universal whose first film,La Mumie , was released this summer. Frankenstein is part of it, played by Javier Bardem in the upcoming Frankenstein's Bride (2019) ... Discovered by Iain McCaig during his studies, Karl Ortiz has made his way, contributing to the design of blockbusters like Jurassic World , World of Warcraft , Rogue One and Doctor Strange for Marvel. She is also the designer of Thor 3: Ragnarok, which will be released in France on November 3, 2017. Her realistic style, which highlights the melancholy and mystery of her characters, has already earned her an award at the British Fantasy Awards in 2015.
Karla Ortiz favors the visual aspect of her work, the aesthetics of the moment she draws. Karla is also continuing her personal work, an indispensable breathing in addition to her personal work: "I paint my moods, the emotions I feel in my life". Using both digital tools and oil painting. "In digital, the temptation is never to conclude, to always touch up. I like to use strong brushes in paint, not to waste time. Digital is good for exploring, and it nourishes my painting. "
Iain Mccaig and Karla Ortiz were pleased by accepting the invitation to exhibit jointly at the Arludik Gallery in Paris until September 30, 2017: an escapade to present personal works on the theme "Love and legend", chosen by themselves, and very representative of their sensibilities.
