Illusion Arts is a defunct effects studio that mainly specialized in matte paintings. It was established in 1983 by effects artists Syd Dutton and Bill Taylor. The company had a hand in over 150 projects over two decades.

The company folded in 2009 after working on ''Film/GIJoeTheRiseOfCobra''. Currently, Taylor has returned to being a freelance artist while Dutton has moved to Creator/ZoicStudios[[note]] and through them has done matte paintings for movies and games like ''Film/RedRidingHood'', ''Film/{{Zombieland}}'' and ''VideoGame/TransformersWarForCybertron''[[/note]].
