Close at work in his studio. He uses a photograph as reference for his photographs. He had a catastrophic spinal artery collapse in 1988 that left him severely paralyzed, he has continued to paint and produce work which remains sought after by museums and collectors.
A close up of one of Close's portraits
Close creates large portraits in low-resolution grid squares. Viewed from afar, these squares appear as a single, unified image which attempt photo-reality, albeit in pixelated form.
This artist uses an 80s toy phenomenon to create a modern looking image. Using Rubik's cubes the artist known as "Mad Maxine" creates pixelated portraits.
Both artists above achieve a look similar to pixeli-zation or that of a pixelated digital image, much like Thomas Ruff's most recent work called JPEG.
