3 Faces of Heath Ledger

WHEN artist Vincent Fantauzzo arrived at Heath Ledger's family home in Perth last December, Ledger's mother made coffee and pikelets to fuel the portrait session between the men.
Ledger was relaxed and happy and a homely vibe was in the air as actor and artist became absorbed in their sitting.
But Fantauzzo's resultant painting of the late actor projects an entirely different feel.
Ledger appears three times in the painting, which is titled Heath. In the central figure, he looks haunted and intense. On either side, he whispers secretively to himself from behind a shielding hand. read more about the artist and his masterpiece

I, for one, love this piece. I really want to blow it up and hang it on my wall. R.I.P. Mr. Ledger.
