In this work starring the iconic actor Bill Murrary, Coco Dávez offers us a portrait of the actor with an empty face, thus demonstrating the uniqueness of the character to be recognized by the public, despite the lack of his facial features. Through a game of compositional subtleties, the author recreates a personal portrait where the personality of the portrayed person emerges as the unquestionable protagonist. The work belongs to the Faceless series, where the artist, through her vitalist aesthetic, embarks on portraits of indispensable characters of popular culture. This work was collected in a book by the artist entitled "Faceless: or what ended up becoming a shameless homage to my idols".
