This is one of the matrices of Truisms, a mix of the artist's own portrait, that of a Hollywood star, the composite portrait of a Canadian criminal and a man from a previous painting (The Tiredness of Being Self 3) that recreates a scared and spooky new candy pink face, lost, wandering. He's right there. Like a show house.
