About the Item
A perfect day with penetrating light and a deep cobalt-blue sky was the ideal context for Mitchell Funk to photograph the punchy primary colors of a mid-century Las Vegas hotel sign. A solitary figure in a dark, nondescript outfit is seen in the foreground and gives the scene scale. The hyper-real lighting has been characteristic of Mitchell Funk's street photography for 54 years. It accentuates color and propels the image into being as abstract as representational.
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.
The photograph is signed, dated and numbered 2/15, lower right recto. Other sizes are available and the fine art photograph is unframed and printed later. Printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art paper
