Oh Heath Heath Heath


Heath Ledger sat for this haunting portrait only weeks before his death last month. The painting, which portrays the late actor as sallow and depressed, also incorporates some very simple symbolism that artist Vincent Fantauzzo feels the need to explain to death: “…it was about how we all have different consciences and voices in our head that tell us what to do and how to react. They’re not good or bad, they’re just voices that we hear, telling us how to behave. That’s what the other figures are in the painting.”
