Right Back at Ya

No, these are not photographs. Nor are these ads targeting the hip-hop crowd. These images are acrylic paintings by Karel Funk (love the name) at 303 Gallery. Funk grooves on the way light hits and reflects Gore-Tex material. His subjects are all young men, the majority with only their backs visible, against a white background, . These are the type of paintings that causes the viewer to pause until he's concluded that "Oh, they're not photographs," and then he moves on to the next show. (Images via 303 Gallery)
