Chuck Close became famous for his large-scale portraits, using a grid of abstract pixels to create the larger picture.Smuts’s monochromatic panels recall all this, and also consciously take a jab at the monochromatic paintings of the early minimalists. For Smuts, each tessera is important in its individuality, and its contrast to the whole.The time and care taken...
