About the Item
Robert Funk’s photographs of elaborate landscaping redefine what Street Art is. On ultra-exclusive Hibiscus Island, Street Art made the Rich abounds. It's an unspoken requirement to fashions your shrubs in an artful way or face scorn from the neighbors. Hedge Fun 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 manmade graphics. They become stripped of surrounding details 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. I am interpreting their creations with the camera. Before there were 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, they are referred to as Landscapers. Their material of choice is living plants. More specifically, Boxwood, Privet, Hawthorn, Beech, Yew, Leyland Cypress, Hemlock, Arborvitae, Barberry, Holly, Oleander, and Lavender. I salute them all and the living art they make and cultivate.
Shot with a Hi-res 36-megapixel camera which yields beautiful detail. Robert Funk is a photographer and New York advertising art director for Print and TV.
