John Neville Cohen's pictures add a new bright dimension to any wall. So sophisticated, original and contemporary, always a talking point, they intrigue, yet remain intelligible to all.

John's pictures, limited to editions of only 8, have great investment potential too! Not yet one of the big names, but Arts Review mentioned Picasso when describing John's 'Spirit of Spring' and the exhibitions to date are impressive. Now is the best time for astute buyers to buy, just consider how very special John's photography is:

The London Salon Trophy
The first time this much coveted international trophy had ever been awarded for a colour photograph was in 1967. Presented to John N. Cohen for his creation 'Spirit of Spring' he was also the youngest member ever to have received it. This was the first ever picture (taken on a Kodachrome transparency film) that included both a negative of a tulip and a positive image of a girl's portrait, all on the same emulsion! No one knew at the time how this could be possible as it was created well before anyone had the use of computers.

John had perfected and invented the idea of photographing projected images and not always on to a screen!

Art Galleries refer to me as a photographer, but Photographers refer to me as an Artist!

About John's unique 'Painting with Light' photography
"Indeed, since the photographic image is made by the action of light, truth to light is truth to the medium of photography! All John Cohen's photographs are made, simply and solely, by the use of light. His magic is the magic of the luminous, his poetry is that of the chiaroscuro. The attractions of his work is all the greater for the purity of the photographic technique, and its appeal all the more universal for being couched in an imagery common to all men and intelligible to all."
Sir George F. Pollock Bt., M.A., F.R.P.S., F.R.S.A.
