About this work

This is a black-and-white photo of a man’s face looking straight ahead. He has deep wrinkles, round glasses, and a short beard. The background is plain and dark, making his face stand out. The photo looks like it was taken with a camera but printed as an art piece. The artist used a grid-like method to build the face from tiny squares. Check out how Chuck Close made this portrait.
