Remake Fig Style

Body art: Kyla Morgan. Painting: Gustav Klimt

The Fig Café has launched a remake competition to inspire. Recreate a famous painting to WIN A FREE MEAL EVERYDAY AT THE FIG FOR A YEAR!

They would like to see a remaking of the composure of one of 5 selected famous paintings with a photo with your special twist – it could be Star Wars, Dungeons and Dragons or just composed with an iconic Perth backdrop...

How you interpret them is up to you, but it should be a recognisable homage to the original. Dress up, accessorise, parody, or plain old micky-take. The funnier the better! They can also be ‘set-ups’ of these paintings, rather than fancy-pants paintings or digital art. Some digital trickery can be used to tidy up your composition, but the scene setting is to be done by you guys!

Check their website for the entry form, details and terms & conditions. The competition runs from 1st Sept – 30th Nov, 2013.
