Neil Larsen - TAWA Award Ellarslie Open
The show is just coming down now so if you didn't get a chance to see it, you missed some beautiful work at both Artworks and the Trenton City Museum for the 28th Ellarslie Open. This year we wish to congratulate Neil Larsen for receiving the TAWA Award for his photograph 'Remember the 50's'. Neil has this to say about his work:
“I prefer the intimacy of the small size print. I don’t always want a faithful representation of reality, sometimes I just yearn for a dream. The image and emulsion transfers go into another dimension - the small size and close viewing enhances that intimate feeling.
I’m not so much interested in cameras as I am in what the camera can produce. Usually, the standard photograph is not enough for me. Maybe that’s a deficiency of mine, but I’ve always felt that there was a better way for me… When I discovered the instant film image transfer I knew immediately that that was one way for me to get the most from my images. Not every photograph works as an image transfer, but the ones that do work are the ones I like in the first place – an intimate picture that is a step away from reality into a pleasant dream or memory.”
Neil has displayed his work in juried and curated art exhibits at Atlantic Artisans, New Jersey Visual Arts Center, the NJ Photography Forum, The Guild of Creative Art, Brookdale Community College, Art Alliance of Monmouth County, the Edison Arts Society, the Mountain Art Show, Soho Photo Gallery, The Trenton City Museum at Ellarslie, Somerset Arts Association, Perkins Center for the Arts, D&R Greenway Land Trust, Watchung Arts Center, Gallery 125, and Art Works in Trenton.
He is a member of the New Jersey Photography Forum and The Trenton Artists’ Workshop Association.
Neil makes pigment prints on watercolor paper but prefers to use instant film image and emulsion transfers in portraying his impressions of the many nature, landscape and cityscape, and historic scenes available in New Jersey.

David Rivera at TAWA Workshop
I have thoroughly enjoyed the workshop with
David Rivera teaching the Secrets of the Old
Masters. Their grissaile method is an
exciting way to prepare an image. The 15th
and 16th century artists produced radiant pieces
of work using limited number of pigments. The
underpainting executed in shade of one color,
usually gray, molds the form and its tonal values
give an illusion of sculptural relief.
Given countless examples of grissaile painters -
from van Eyck's brothers to Vermeer to Ingres,
we were to choose an artist to study and learn
his technique. I have found Andrea del Sarto's
small piece especially graceful and was eager to
see how much I can learn from him.
This new method that stresses good drawing and
tonal values was in direct contrast to my older
'all prima', direct method of painting. Subsequent
color glazes over the underpainting created luminosity
never experienced before. Guided patiently by
Mr. Rivera, we were discovering the genius
of oil paints - their potential to create
really brilliant detail in jewel like colors.
Old Masters have secrets to share for patient
and devoted students. It was really a pleasure
to participate in this inspiring gem of a workshop.
Many thanks to Mr.Rivera and TAWA .

This is a call for proposals for a short term job this summer. City Arts of Trenton is organizing a week-long Arts camp called "Bridge to the Arts" to be held at the
Westminster Presbyterian Church on Greenwood Avenue at Olden Avenue in Trenton.
The camp will run from August 23-27, 2010. Students will be dropped off at 8AM and picked up at 4PM with the option of extended day for an additional fee. Instructors will work from 9AM to 4PM with an hour off for lunch. Each instructor will be provided with an assistant. The stipend is $200.00 per day and $100.00 per day for materials. There will be a culminating activity on the last day from 4:30-6PM to show off what they did all week.
There will be 80 students ranging in age from 6-13 years in attendance. They will be broken out into groups of 20 by age. They will attend 4 classes each day in the different fine and performing arts that run for 75 minutes each. Therefore, you would see all 80 students each day.
We would like to invite you to submit a proposal for quality visual arts instruction for any part or all of the week. (We are not interested in cutesy "make and takes" that most camps offer.) You may participate for one day or all five. We would like to have your ideas no later than June 23, 2010.
