Phantom
A solo exhibition by Anton Funck
OPENING RECEPTION: FRIDAY NOVEMBER 21. TIME: 16.00 – 21.00
EXHIBITION PERIOD: NOVEMBER 22 – JANUARY 17. 2026
Phantom presents Anton Funck’s reflections on disappearance and reappearance, exploring our shared evanescent experience. Real or imagined, the phantom grants us audience with a lost loved one, an unreconciled past, or a future not yet known.
We can become phantoms in our own lives—haunting places where love once lived or seeking solace in those who no longer recognize us as our good old selves. We might be seen as a spectre of someone who no longer exists, a reflection that no longer casts what once was.
Funck’s use of varying techniques and mediums—collage, watercolour, pencil, and crayon—reflects these plays of disappearance and reappearance. We see his familiar motifs in transitional shades and alternative forms.
The phantom—an unwanted visitor—lives in you, with you, and as you. Like the sun and the moon, these shades illuminate our lives and make visible the shadow play between presence and absence that shapes our reality.
