Scary artistic talent to reveal itself at Kosart Effects Studios of Westmont

After a tremendous response to last year’s debut of a nightmarish exhibition, Kosart Effects Studios & Gallery in Westmont returns with the second annual Maleficium Dark Art Exhibition, the free Halloween-themed art show open to the public. The exhibit’s opening and artist reception will be held from 7 to 11 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 3, featuring 34 award-winning artists of all media.
Maleficium is a Latin term for “mischief” and “dark art,” and, if Halloween and horror are your thing, this is the must-see show to cap the Halloween season, says gallery founder and award-winning artist J. Anthony Kosar, a Lisle native. He is instructor of special FX classes and workshops at his studio.
“I wanted to bring two of my favorite things together: art and Halloween,” he explains. “This show is the best of both.”
Thirty-four, award-winning artists will be featured, including sculptors: The Shiflett Brothers (Sideshow Collectibles, Bowen Designs, Moore Action Collectibles, Toy Biz), world-renowned sculptor and concept artist Jordu Schell (“Avatar,” “Prince Caspian,” AVPR, “Predator 2,” “Edward Scissorhands,” “Batman Returns,” and seen on the Travel Channel’s “Making Monsters” and “Toy Hunter”), Eisner Award-winning artist Alex Ross (Marvel, DC Comics, Dark Horse, Dynamite Entertainment and Warner Brothers), award-winning sculptor Tim Bruckner (Kenner, Gentle Giant, DC Direct and co-writer of the book “Pop Sculpture”), Eisner Award-winning artist Jill Thompson (“Scary Godmother,” “Magic Trixie” and “Beasts of Burden”), Eisner and Inkpot Award-winning No. 1 “Star Wars” artist Dave Dorman (Dark Horse, Marvel, DC, IDW, Image, Hasbro, 20th Century Fox) and many others. The complete list of artists with their biographies is on the website: KosartGallery.com.
The show will run through Dec. 15, with viewings after Nov. 3 by appointment only. Art and theater teachers are invited to bring their students in for private tours.
Charity raffle
A raffle for charity will be held on Nov. 3, with prizes ranging from signed prints, sculptures, books and comics to masks. Raffle tickets are available for purchase at the show, and proceeds from the raffle will be donated to Little Friends, a nonprofit organization serving children and adults with autism and other developmental disabilities.
The exhibit’s artwork will be available for sale, unless marked NFS.
