American, b. 1952
Robert Funk pioneered toy, doll, miniature, plastic thingies, and staged photography. He also photographs his paintings. Most of his work is done on location.

Currently, he is engaged in a variety of photography projects. 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.

Fly to the Sky. Boy Holding Big Bird in the Bronx
By Robert Funk
Located in Miami, FL
The big bird is a painting. I painted it. It's oil on canvas. I mounted it on plywood and silhouetted it with a jigsaw. I took the silhouetted bird with me on the subway. We each had our own seat on the trip from Brooklyn to the Bronx
The station has changed. In a Google stock image photo, you can see the geniuses have destroyed the beautiful character of the station. The early 20th-century signage and lighting fixtures have been changed by soulless and cheap-looking replacements.

Lion Male in Majestic Mauve
By Robert Funk
Located in Miami, FL
Well-muscled male cat with full mane. He's King of the Jungle even if he's in stone and against a pink background.
The contrast of gritty the stone texture against the smooth flat sky is unexpected and somehow makes the image special.
