CHUCK CLOSE

Chuck Close

Mannnny years ago I used to walk past this amazing work every day, as I was running the sculpture garden restruant at the NGV whilst studying Visual Art at Art School.

It couldnt get any better having a peice like this at the entrance of the NGV, you were greeted by him and his detail !!! All done with lead pencil and the scale off the wall huge!..insanely moving, what dedication.
