Chuck Close
Painter/printmaker/photographer
With 30+years as a master printer Chuck Closes work has becomes very process orientated. His images are based upon a grid like structure that allows him to start and stop without interrupting the creative process "a creative process that could be interrupted repeatedly without damages the final product, in which the segmented structure was never intended to be disguised." Chuck Close. The majority of his work is hands on and labor intensive some works take a better part or 2 years to complete. Working and a broad variety of mediums, wood block, reduction block, scribble/etching and painting, Chuck is able to create dimensional depth and energy through these processes that are two dimensional and primarily void of and third dimension.
His current work is made up of various human and self portraits that are grand in scale, some of the works being 10’x10’ or larger. The canvases are divided in to small sections by a grid like pattern. The pattern acts just like pixels from a digital printer. They allow him create sub-images within the primary image. The grids are not necessarily of a rigid structure but not arbitrary, they are very calculated and controlled, they are laid out with great concern for the image.
