Wexler Gallery has outdone itself this time. Featuring works of world renowned artists, furniture designer Wendell Castle and artist Chuck Close. Chuck Close is best known for his abstract, yet photo realistic giant portraits. Somehow, Close is able to creat encredibly realistic portraits by forming a grid of colourful circles and painted shapes. His work is generally large, viewd up close the works look abstract and dont define any perticular object. As you move away from the peices they become more in focus. Wendell Castle has been desiging and building furiture for around 40 years now. His furniture plays with the balance between sculture and functionality. This show complements gallery 339's current exhibit "Philadelphia Masters." Art students, go to one of these two gallerys to write your gallery reviews. Chuck Close and Wendell Castle run at the Wexler Gallery through January and February.
