About Robert Funk Fine Art
Robert Funk Fine Art LLC shows an eclectic group of artworks based on the quality of each work rather than a trend. "I look for artists who clearly have their own style. That may sound simplistic but very few artists have one". Director Robert Funk's years of experience bring a multi-perspective approach to presenting art. He had good teachers. 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. Goossen. He went on to...Read More

Football Team Sports Action Painting Abstract Expressionism, Sports Illustrated
By Bob Peak
Located in Miami, FL
Football players cloaked in oversized Browns jackets are seen from behind running off the field. Always the graphic innovator, legendary illustrator Bob Peak creates a radical composition by leaving the bottom two-thirds of the picture plane empty of detail. To convey a sense of motion, Peak uses broad strokes of paint similar to the action painters Franz Kline and Willem de Kooning, who were the dominant force in the fine art world in the 1960s. Clearly, one can see a cross-over influence from Fine Art to commercial illustration as Peak strikes a balance between abstract versus figurative art. This work was done on an assignment for Sports Illustrated...
