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.

Look for his work among many other TAWA artists at the upcoming 'Art & Soul' show opening this Saturday June 26 at the Trenton City Museum.
