Artist Peter Funch was born 1974 in Denmark. He attended the Danish school of journalism where he graduated with a degree in photo journalism in 2000. He has had many solo and group exhibitions around the world, and he is currently living and working in New York. Funch also does commercial work for ad companies, and according to Photographie website, “His work combines perceptive social commentary with a cinematic visual language.” While Funch has many prominent and distinguished series, I am really dran to his Déjà vu and Las Vegas series, for the way they employ architecture, color, and use clean lines. Funch’s Déjà vu series is mostly wide-angle shots, collaged together to create one big horizon line. The colors of the sky and ground play off each other, and the placing of the horizon line in the top or bottom of the frame really draws the viewer in. In his Las Vegas series, Funch concentrates a lot on the architecture and environment of the settings, and really emphasizes the grandeur and bright colors of Vegas. Although Funch’s work is very different from mine, I think we share some of the same aesthetic qualities.
