photorealism



Karel Funk's hyper-realistic and unconventional portraits of hooded white men are dually captivating and mundane. By refuting the traditional frontal positioning of subjects in portraits, Funk paralyzes the viewer, forcing them to continually scrutinize the presumed limitations of the two-dimensionality of canvas. You can check out more of Funk's work at 303 Gallery in New York City.
