Fluidity + Pattern
I love the art of Chuck Close. Recently I began a painting technique similar to the one displayed in the above pictures. He developed a technique where an entire image is made up of tiny equally sized portions, that are filled with various colors and shapes. The effect is amazing. When an individual steps back, the total image is seen. But, when they move closer, only organic shapes and colors can be seen. It is similar to the concept of orderly chaos. What seems to be chaotic is actually methodical and well planned. I love process and technique, while displaying a fluid idea.
