Let's make this birthday one to remember.

84 years old (Born on July 05, 1940)

Happy Birthday, Chuck Close! Your photorealistic paintings are so incredibly detailed, even cameras envy your precision. You've captured faces with such clarity that mirrors everywhere feel threatened. Each brushstroke is a masterpiece—honestly, we're still zooming in to find imperfections (spoiler alert: there aren't any!).

Your recent exhibitions continue to amaze and inspire us all. You've proven time and again that art can be both hyper-realistic and deeply moving. Here's wishing you another year filled with creativity, laughter, and plenty of paintbrushes—because let's face it, nobody does realism quite like you do! Keep dazzling us; reality needs the competition!
