Robert Funk
Plant Portrait, Rain Forest Green Tropical Plants Red Light Blur

2016

About the Item

The road to Coconut Grove is adorned with green lush tropical rainforest plants. One of the most graphic is the alocasia macrorrhizos. They function as shapes as much as they do as wide areas of green color. This image is a lyrical union of nature and man. The luscious back-lit green coalesces with two blurred spots of red from a passing car's rear lights. The viewer of this image finds elegance and opulence in a simple display of nature. A second theme of the image is that it is a Plant Portrait. The work is signed, numbered 3/15, dated, and titled lr. Printed later, unframed, Printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art paper. Other sizes Available. The video color is off. Use the still images as a reference for more accurate color. Robert Funk is a pioneer of toy, doll, miniature, plastic thingies, and staged photography. He also photographs his own paintings and documents the glory of modern landscapeing and streetscaping. Most of his work is done on location. He does not use photoshop to strip in images. He was widely published in the 1970's and early 1980's. As an undergrad in painting, he studied with first-generation abstract expressionist Robert Richenburg and hyper-realist painter Janet Fish and then in Graduate School for Art History with famed critic E.C. Goossen. He went on to work as a Photographer, New York Advertising Art Director, Art Collector and Gallerist.

'Cicatrices 3' Large scale photo. Agave leaf, female tropical blue teal green
By Sophia Milligan
Located in Penzance, GB
'Cicatrices (3)' Limited edition archival photograph. Unframed, hand signed and numbered _________________ Scars of birthing in the unfolding leaf pattern of the giant graceful Agave. The sensual contradictions of silken flesh and the protective spines are a contemplation of motherhood's journey, the unfolding narrative impressed eternally upon the skin. Sophia's poetic photographs are an exploration of the balance in all things: in the sensual interplay of light and shadow; in wild raw energy and serene stillness; in joy and pain; in the enduring and the effervescent. They are a contemplation of the awareness that everything in existence is temporary, they speak of the ephemeral nature of all things. Moments, feelings, experiences cherished and appreciated in their impermanence, for that is where the beauty comes from. 'I work with time, and the immeasurable spaces of experience within... tangible traces, evidence left behind, records; process in action, stilled'. 40 x 60 inches Limited edition of 25 Archival Print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag® paper, one of the most beautiful and high quality art papers available. The luxurious matt finish provides a reflection free image that is rich in detail, depth and tone. Hand signed, titled and numbered to the lower right corner on an approximately 1 inch white border. Each print comes with a Certificate of Authenticity featuring a signature and edition number. * Please note that images of the artwork in situ and framed are an indication of how the piece can look, and in the context of other artworks. The artwork is being sold unframed. ________________________________ About The Artist Sophia Milligan...
