What medium does chuck close work in?

Chuck Close is an American painter, print maker and photographer. The large scale portraits for which is is best known, many of which are 6x9 feet or larger, are painted primarily in oil on canvas. Most of the large scale portraits from early in his career were painted in acrylic on canvas. Close also works in a variety of printmaking techniques, including color screen prints, color woodblock prints and mezzotint. For his large portraits, close works with a variety of grid systems, within which he paints in individual shapes of color. His technique combines elements of photo-realism and a form of pointillism that in some ways resembles the way photographs are separated for printing. Over the course of his career, Close has explored a number of unusual and experimental techniques for arranging color and black and white areas in his works, while maintaining a recognizable representation of faces. Interestingly, Close suffers from a condition known as prosopagnosia, also known as face blindness, which makes it difficult for him to recognize individual faces. He has said that painting portraits makes it somewhat easier for him to recognize faces, but that's not why he pursued portraiture in his art. Chuck Close has an official website as chuckclose.com.
