Dalai Lama (2005)

                                                                    Dalai Lama (2005)

This portrait of the Dalai Lama is one of Chuck Close's more recent works, being completed in 2005. It is a digital pigment print on Hahnemhle photo rag paper and is 49 by 41.5 inches wide. I really like this portrait that Close created. I think the colors on his robe really pop in comparison to the background and it grabs your attention. The detail in the painting is also very good when it comes to the wrinkles on the Dalai Lama's forehead and on the neck. I think Chuck Close is extremely talented for being able to show detail such as that so well.
