Chuck Close is an artist who works with pixels. Not the way we work with them, but he uses pixels to create the little boxes in his artwork, that finally make up the portraits.

I thought maybe you would like to hear about this man.

Here is some more about Chuck Close.

The thing that amazes me most is how he paints. I have seen part of a television documentary where Close painted the selfportrait I put up above. He actually uses the pixels in a photo, and enlarges these to become little squares of multy coloured scribblings, that ultimatly form the image.

Chuck Close is paralized from the neck down. He needs both his hands to hold the paintbrush up to the canvas, but that does not stop him from creating art.

I think he is an inspirational artist.

interresting work anna

I saw an exhibition of his work a few years back in DC...really great stuff...and HUGE canvases.

Yes, great stuff...I've seen some of it before...but didn't know who the artist was. Cool!
