We invited some of the art world’s most talented to create portraits of some of Hollywood’s most fabulous. Delving deep beyond the oft-photographed visages, these artists bring to their subjects a unique depth of perception. Their art goes places a headshot could only dream of

 

Raised in the wilds of Medford, Oregon, Fawn Rogers has utilized photography, painting, film and sculpture to explore everything from her Cherokee heritage to the dichotomous nature of human life in the heart of the Anthropocene. The L.A.- based multimedia artist’s work has been shown internationally at Galerie Marguo in Paris, Nicodim Gallery and Lauren Powell Projects in Los Angeles and Hong Kong’s K11 Musea. “My ancestors on both sides of my family—my mother is Cherokee, my father is Jewish—have been victims of genocide,” says Rogers. “So I took this opportunity to paint the leads in Killers of the Flower Moon—in blood and oil—because the story is about genocide, greed, power and blood for oil. Native Americans are by far the most underrepresented people, and this speaks to the atrocities still happening in America and all over the world today.”
