It’s a classic darkness and light concept that I love to work with and showing how closely that they can reside within a person, within a building, within their four walls. That was the aim to create something really dark, really beautiful but in a completely different way through showing the characters and touching on the battles that are going on within their heads and what that can ultimately lead to. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe decision to introduce the characters was a big one, it can spoil a piece, but the aim was to have them so that they are literally bleeding out onto the canvas, with sheer emotion that’s captured through the detailing. The idea being with the asylum is that it’s so difficult to leave but so easy to return and that takes on so many meanings. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis piece shows that contrast between the pure, sinister side of the Heath Ledger character where he’s absolutely seething within the shadows but then in complete contrast, we go across to Joaquin Phoenix where he’s totally lost in his own world. There’s no acknowledgement to the destruction that he’s causing, no remorse but ultimately happier and it’s showing how that can completely escalate and morph through. It’s been a wonderful piece to work on, one that has particular poignancy to me and I’m sure to many others.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Retro by Ronnie Fine Art","offers":[{"title":"Standard Non-Embellished Giclée Edition - Black Frame £395","offer_id":55978854711682,"sku":null,"price":395.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard Non-Embellished Giclée Edition - White Frame £395","offer_id":55978854744450,"sku":null,"price":395.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard Embellished Giclée Edition - Black Frame £475","offer_id":55978854777218,"sku":null,"price":475.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard Embellished Giclée Edition - White Frame £475","offer_id":55978854809986,"sku":null,"price":475.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard Embellished Giclée Edition - Custom Frame £725","offer_id":55978854842754,"sku":null,"price":725.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large Non-Embellished Giclée Edition - Black Frame £595","offer_id":55978854875522,"sku":null,"price":595.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large Non-Embellished Giclée Edition - White Frame £595","offer_id":55978854908290,"sku":null,"price":595.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large Embellished Giclée Edition - Black Frame £695","offer_id":55978854941058,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large Embellished Giclée Edition - White Frame £695","offer_id":55978854973826,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large Embellished Giclée Edition - Custom Frame £995","offer_id":55978855006594,"sku":null,"price":995.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hand Embellished Canvas Edition - Black Frame £1195","offer_id":55978855039362,"sku":null,"price":1195.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hand Embellished Canvas Edition - White Frame £1195","offer_id":55978855072130,"sku":null,"price":1195.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hand Embellished Canvas Edition - Custom Painted Frame £1595","offer_id":55978855104898,"sku":null,"price":1595.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hand Embellished Canvas Edition - Custom Painted Frame #3\/10 £1595 - Available Now!","offer_id":56685540082050,"sku":null,"price":1595.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/9690\/0994\/files\/SMI-Full.jpg?v=1763382842","url":"https:\/\/www.retrobyronniefineart.co.uk\/products\/smile-the-joker","provider":"Retro by Ronnie Fine Art ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
