Chuck Close is an artist that our team briefly learned about, who inspired me and showed me a whole other side of art and also what artists can be capable of. Chuck close creates massive-scale portraits and also abstract artwork. He usually uses a method where he paints a geometric shape within a small square area using the needed colors, and continues this process until he has completed the portrait. Close became paralyzed through a spinal artery collapse in 1988, but continued to produce unique and stunning artwork. I admire Close's style and the meticulous detail put into his work.
