Chuck Close




More than just a painter, photographer, and printmaker, Chuck Close is a builder who, in his words, builds "painting experiences for the viewer." Highly renowned as a painter, Close is also a master printmaker, who has, over the course of more than 30 years, pushed the boundaries of traditional printmaking in remarkable ways.



Almost all of Close’s work is based on the use of a grid as an underlying basis for the representation of an image.
