Self-Portrait by Chuck Close is a 2012 silkscreen produced in an edition of 80, measuring 66 1/2 x 55 inches. The large-scale print presents the artist’s face constructed from a grid of vividly colored cells, each containing abstract shapes and layered hues. From a distance, the fragmented units coalesce into a highly detailed likeness; up close, the image dissolves into a mosaic of painterly marks and geometric forms. This interplay between abstraction and representation is central to Close’s practice. Following the physical limitations he experienced after 1988, the grid method became both a conceptual framework and a practical strategy, emphasizing process, perception, and the mechanics of image-making.

What is Hyper-realism?
Hyperrealism is a genre of sculpture and painting that closely resembles high-resolution photographs. It is an evolution of Photorealism and is often applied to an independent art style or movement that became prominent in Europe and the United States in the early 2000s. Hyperrealist artists focus on extreme detail and precision, creating works that are often indistinguishable from real-life images.
