Charles Thomas "Chuck" Close
born July 5, 1940 an american painter (photorealist).
Throughout his career, he has mastered several materials such as air brush, ink, graphite, pastel, watercolor, conté crayon, finger painting, stamp-pad ink on paper; printmaking techniques, such as Mezzotint, etching, woodcuts, linocuts, and silk-screens; as well as handmade paper collage, Polaroid photographs, Daguerreotypes, and Jacquard tapestries.
This is a photorealist style painting. He uses squares to create illusions to the audience’s eyes. the technique he apply for his cubism paintings are the colours. What helped him choosing the layered colours? Well he uses the colour wheel to choose what colours to go on top on one another. He works in large scales canvas. The more knowledge you know about the colour wheel, the easier for you to create the cubist paintings. The squares are important aswell.If the boxes are too big, it is not as detailed as the smaller squares. Bear in mind, smaller squares means more work!
