About the Item
Street Art is today's dominant contemporary art movement. Yet it has overlooked the obvious. It’s the luscious landscaping from the rich. Street art made from plants has been beautifying the streets but we have never really recognized it until now.
Robert Funk’s photographs of elaborate landscaping redefine what Street Art is. Landscaping art aesthetically is the opposite of the generally accepted meaning of Graffiti Street Art Street from the Rich is a series that celebrates the landscaping commissioned by well-heeled homeowners, high-end condos, and ritzy commercial establishments. Shrubs, bushes and trees are transformed from organic shapes into man made graphics. They become stripped of surrounding detail to the point that they become abstract in their impact. On any given day in South Florida, there is an army of landscaping trucks with gardeners and groundsmen working meticulously to beautify the streetscape. Before there was Robert Smithson, Richard Long, Carl Andre and Donald Judd there were artists that preceded them in making minimalist earthworks sculpture. They are been around for millennia. In recent times, there are referred to as Landscapers. Their material of choice is living plants. More specifically Boxwood but also Privet, Hawthorn, Beech, Yew, Leyland Cypress, Hemlock, Arborvitae, Barberry, Holly, Oleander, and Lavender. I am interpreting their creations with the camera. I salute them all and the living art they make and cultivate.
