Chuck Close is an American artist who became well known through his photorealistic artworks. The subject matter of his portraits would become the photo rather than the person photographed. In that same way, the design of the art gallery would be sculptural where the subject matter of the architecture becomes the sculpture. Through the idea of the way photos frame certain views, frames are used sculpturally to define pockets of space. The undulating walls, ceiling, and floors created by these shifting frames means that the changing frames of space can be experienced visually as well as by movement and touch. It can also be felt by the contraction and expansion of the spaces.
Through these experiences, you are guilded from the large gallery to the smaller galleries upstairs which then lead you into the shop fronting King Street.
