Heath Ledger's Final Portrait - Vincent Fantauzzo's Painting
Australia’s The Daily Telegraph reports that Melbourne artist Vincent Fantauzzo put the finishing touches on his painting of Heath Ledger at his Docklands studio the day before the star was found dead in his NY apartment.

But the newly finished work got an early showing, when, with the approval of the Ledger family, Fantauzzo released the image to the media. The painting depicts the notoriously private actor as three separate images. The central, and largest, image is of Ledger, bare-chested, looking straight ahead, appearing pained and exhausted. The two background images are of Ledger wearing humorous expressions, whispering into the ears of his foreground image.

What an awful painting. Looks like the kind of montage you see airbrushed onto t-shirts at the local flea market except with Heath Ledger instead of Tupac or Scarface, and minus the diamante dollar signs.
I'm sure the artist will be laughing all the way to the bank, though. By: v0rtex on Feb 11, 08 | 0 Trends | 5 Comments |
