Chuck Close - Profile

Large survival faces one to look, but in size ungeschönt so realistic that you think you look in the face of a giant incarnate. But despite their photo-effect are the images of the artist Chuck Close, 1940 in the Monroe (USA) is born and now lives in New York and works painted. With a grid, he transmits the model in this photo large dimensions and so are all still so tiny details of photography on canvas transported. The effect is incredible. The banality of our existence we are aware of this magnification. Unlike in real life, these great faces at once how to walk on, you can explore in their details. Chuck Close says of his never emotionally moving portraits: "crying or laughing are just a single emotion, I wanted each man in his complex character show. The likeness of a face is the road map of a life. "(Aachener Zeitung, 24.05.2007) In addition to his photographic work, there are also portraits, in which he portrayed the facial features as in mosaic tiles cut. A bit reminiscent of this work a mixture of impressionist painting and a bad resolution digital photo, in which the pixels are visible. From the vicinity just colorful color, they sat, from the distance, to face together. © ArtLogistics
