Close's prints of pixelated, exploded views of the human face are quite extraordinary. He suffers from face blindness - unable to recognise facial features. He also suffered from a a severed stroke and can barely move - he holds his brush with his mouth. So this is a very personal exhibition.
The images are fantatsic. Bewitching, mesmerising and quite a technically achivement.
(Incidentally also at the White Cube is an exhibition with a naked guy on roller skates. Another reason to go!)
