Gallery Nucleus in Alhambra, CA (gallerynucleus.com) will this Saturday, Nov. 15 open a new exhibition called Roll the Dice, and present an artist panel and signing for The Art of Big Hero 6 (Chronicle Books) with some of the top Disney talents behind the recently released CG superhero film.
The Art of Big Hero 6 features concept art from the production including sketches, storyboards, maquette sculpts, colorscripts and more,illuminated with quotes and interviews with the film’s creators. Taking place from 2-5 p.m., the panel and signing event will include Scott Watanabe (art director, environments), Victoria Ying (visdev, environments), Shiyoon Kim (character designer), Lorelay Bove (visdev, characters), Kevin Nelson (visdev artist), Paul Briggs (head of story) and Kendelle Hoyer (story artist).
Roll the Dice celebrates the spirit of fun with new bodies of work from exhibiting artists Naoshi and Mizna Wada. The display of artworks doubles as a life-sized board game in the Nucleus gallery space — Mizna’s side takes “players” on an eerie journey through the underworld, while Naoshi’s side guides them into a brighter world above. Players roll a giant pair of dice to advance from space to space, taking turns and following instructions found on the walls — first player to finish wins! Opening night winners will receive a special, limited edition prize.
