Chuck Close



Chuck Close is a famous painter that does his works based on the use of a grid. This featured piece is called 'Leslie'! For obvious reasons it had to be my favorite (my name is Leslie). Even more that that, Close's work reminds me of mosaic. Mosaic type works are a preference of mine because they take such time to do. I like to do them because viewers can appreciate all the tiny details put in to the artwork. I enjoy his use of color to make this face appear out of a cluster of little squares of color.
