About the Item
Four East Village down-and-out derelicts and apparent friends sit on a step and engage in a lively chat. They are smoking and drinking. Street Photographer Mitchell Funk captures them with a late afternoon light and sets them against a colorful green wall with tree shadows that add a pictorial complexity to the image. A blur of blue occupies the lower left quadrant, resulting from a passing car. Funk's soft, colorful palette brings a fresh perspective to a gritty subject Can a street photograph be a grab shot and precisely designed simultaneously? 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.
This archival color photograph by fine art photographer Mitchell Funk 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
