About the Item
Robert Funk’s photographs of elaborate landscaping redefine what Street Art is. Street Art from the Rich is found on every corner in Naples. It's a city with perhaps more flowers than weeds. 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 man-made graphics. They become stripped of surrounding details to the point that they become abstract in their impact. On any given day in South Florida, an army of landscaping trucks with gardeners and groundsmen work 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 sculptures. 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 1970's and 1980's.
