Chuck Close is a man of many styles. He has gone from abstraction to realism throughout his life. He does a lot of portraits with many materials such as oil, acrylic, ink, graphite, Polaroid prints, and many black and white drawings. He uses a grid system while painting and breaks his reference photos into pieces. He did this for "Big Self-Portrait", which I find amazing. His abstract style tends to have many mini paintings created into one big painting. He uses blocks of color and shape to form a larger overall shape of a face or such. Here is a link to find some more information on him, along with more photos of his work!
