About the Item

In a continuing project, "Mitchell Funk Photographs the Chrysler Building for 50 years," the present work is a stellar example of how Funk takes one of the most photographed world icons and represents it in a fresh and electrifying way. Through his use of hyper-lighting Funk combined with an unexpected composition and patterning, Funk creates a new view of a 95 year old icon. Signed, dated and numbered 2/15 lower right recto. Other sizes are available. The work is unframed and printed later. Printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art paper . Can a street photograph be a grab shot and precisely designed at the same time? Mitchell Funk says yes. He brings finely honed photography skills such as composition, intense lighting and design to found subject matter. Mitchell Funk brings the compositional precision of studio photography to street photography. Unlike most street photographers, Funk is an abstractionist while being a documentarian. For the last 55 years, Mitchell Funk has endlessly explored the relationship of light, color and shape. These interactions have become the central pursuit of the artist. Mitchell Funk is a pioneer of "Color Photography" In 1970 he participated in one the first "Color Photography" shows at a major museum. Brooklyn Museum, show "Images en Couleur". 1971 Included he was included in the visionary book "Frontiers of Photography" Time Life. Color! American Photography Transformed. Amon Carter Museum.

By Erik Pawassar

Redwoods by Erik Pawassar 42 x 117 inches (107 x 298cm) signed edition of 7 48 x 135 inches (122 x 343cm) six panels of 48 x 22.5 inches signed edition of 7 31 x 88 inches (79 x 224cm) signed edition of 7 archival fine art pigment print signed & numbered by artist on label custom/larger sizes are available on request _________________________ Erik Pawassar's work focuses on the beauty of the disregarded or mundane object. The subjects for his striking and captivating visuals are typically set in the most ordinary environments, drawing the viewer into a charged but serene experience based on composition, palette and formal lines. Saturated in color, the nominal subjects gather a haunting and mesmerizing quality, creating a poignant pretext for the making of a formal color photograph. Decisively capturing the traces left by humanity, Pawassar's images are filled with a sense of universal nostalgia and pay homage to the passage of time and the extinguished moment, referencing documentary and street photographers like Henri Cartier-Bresson, Sebastian Salgado...
