Whether it is through conceptual or technical precision, the deceptively lifelike nature of a hand-crafted image, a playful interpretation or distortion of a familiar object or the detailed appropriation of another artist’s work, an acute focus on the minute connects these works and these artists√¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ approaches. These artists demonstrate a labor-intensive and exacting artistic passion in their respective processes. As Chuck Close fittingly reflects with respect to his own work, “I am going for a level of perfection that is only mine…Most of the pleasure is in getting the last little piece perfect.”
