Robert Funk
Hedge Fun - Naples, Florida - Happy Colors Landscaping, Abstract Photography

2020

About the Item

Landscaping in Naples, Florida gives the residents and visitors a visual treat. The community has transformed a typical banal Florida city into an outdoor art exhibition of by Landscape Artists. Robert Funk’s photographs of elaborate landscaping redefine what Street Art is. Landscaping art aesthetically is the opposite of the generally accepted meaning of Graffiti Street Art . 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 detail 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. Before there was 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, there are referred to as Landscapers. Their material of choice is living plants. More specifically Boxwood but also Privet, Hawthorn, Beech, Yew, Leyland Cypress, Hemlock, Arborvitae, Barberry, Holly, Oleander, and Lavender. I am interpreting their creations with the camera. 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. He was widely published in the 1970s and 1980s. Signed, numbered, 3/15 dated, and titled lower right. Other sizes are available, printed later and unframed. Printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art paper
