June 8 - July 7
CHUCK CLOSE

Trinity Gallery's Chuck Close exhibition will feature a variety of the artist's portraits, including popular images such as "James" and "Emma." Much of Close's work is based on the use of a grid as an underlying basis for the representation of an image. This simple but surprisingly versatile structure provides the means for "a creative process that could be interrupted repeatedly without ... damaging the final product, in which the segmented structure was never intended to be disguised." It is important to note that none of Close's images are created digitally or photo-mechanically. While it is tempting to read his gridded details as digital integers, all his work is made the old-fashioned way-by hand.
