Adam Wheatley (b. 1972 – Australia) is a fine artist and film production designer/art director who splits his time between his arts practice and his film career. Wheatley has a Masters’ Degree in Cross Discilpinary Fine Art & Design from The College of Fine Arts, University of New South Wales, Sydney. His work is informed and influenced by his passion for graphic novels, anime, sci-fiction and fantasy literature and film, with the themes largely metaphorical, focussing on contemporary conceptual social commentary. He has exhibited in solo and group shows at independent galleries including sell-outs at Sydney’s Blank Space (Artist’s Alliance-run), and Rushcutter’s Bay Gallery. He currently has work at Hero Complex Gallery, Los Angeles. But he usually sells privately, often to commission. Adam’s filmography includes: The Social Dilemma (premiered at Sundance Film Festival 2020); I Am Mother [2019]; Pacific Rim: Uprising [2018]; Mad Max: Fury Road [2015] and The Shallows [2015].
