American artist, Chuck Close is famous for his large-scale Photo- Realist portraits and also known for his highly inventive techniques used in painting the human face. A spinal blood clot left Close confined to a wheelchair, almost completely paralyzed in 1988. He continued working with the aid of a brush-holding device that was strapped to his wrist and forearm.
He replaced the tiny details of his earlier paintings with a grid of tiles plastered with colorful ovoid and elliptical shapes in the 1990s. Each tile in itself is an abstract painting when viewed up close; and when viewed from a distance, the tiles come together to form a dynamic deconstruction of the human face.
