Mondrian Boogie Woogie Updated By Street Photographer Mitchell Funk
-
Description
Perpendicular lines of white and yellow, rectangles of yellow, and white bands of equal proportion define this overhead Manhattan intersection. As an afterthought, it's a nod to Mondrian, but it's just another example of Street Photographer ( literally ) Mitchell Funk addressing the concrete and essential elements of a picture - namely its shapes, forms, and colors. Funk has captured a perfect primary color moment - where cars, motorbikes, and pedestrians inadvertently position themselves to form a perfectly balanced composition.
Can a street photograph be a grab shot and precisely designed at the same time? 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.
