Mitchell Funk
Man Tree Duet

2020

About the Item

It's a dance performed by man and nature. Both gesture in unison as a pair. Defined by their dark expressive outlines, these shadows are revealing the true nature of the objects that form them. With only subtle distinctions, they express an awkward self-confidence as they play a shadow duet in the early morning light. From a high angle, Mitchell Funk ingeniously captures the shape of the tree and the shape of the man so they resemble and interrelate with each other. Mitchell Funk brings the compositional precision of studio photography to street photography. Unlike most street photographers, Funk is an abstractionist while being a documentarian. The print is signed, dated, and numbered with an edition of 2/15. It's signed lower right recto. Other sizes are available and it's unframed.
