J. F. Roux
Roux thought that the act of artistic creation resides in the decisions that the artist makes about what to leave out from the represented world, so that a painting is the product of the artist’s considered choices about what forms and colours to emphasise. There are some early paintings at Langebaan of fishing boats and later, from a trip with Margot to Sicily, of dwellings. Roux was also commissioned on occasion to paint pictures of farm houses. But on the whole, his landscapes represent nature in all its timelessness, stripped of any trace of human intervention.
Nux (Mad Max character)
Nux's character was named after the Latin word for "nut". If translated figuratively, it means "a thing of no value". Nux's make-up consisted of 8 silicone prosthetics followed by airbrushing, clay application and various levels of dirt. This make-up had to be applied 77 times and took 2 hours each time. Nux's imaginary friends named "Larry & Bary" were originally conceived as glove puppets by Brendan McCarthy. They were reinvented as faces on Nux's tumorous lymph nodes of Hoult's own design.
