A native of New England, I came to Lane County, Oregon, 30 years ago. It was the beauty of the Pacific Northwest that brought me here.
Photography has been a part of my life for quite some time now. The beginnings include experimenting with an older-style polaroid camera as a teen, to my first 35mm camera and learning to develop and print film overseas. Later, traveling through the American Southwest photographing landscapes, abstracts, and rock and roll bands using my favorite Kodachrome 64 slide film, and showing many slidw shows in the process.
With the introduction of the Polaroid SX-70 camera and it's unique film, I became intrigued by it's possibilities and developed my impressionistic technique.
I feel I've created a unique perspective and intimacy with my work and subjects; losing myself sometimes in another world of inner discovery and exploration.
I hope you enjoy this sampling of my work.
LaRiccia, an Elmira, Oregon artist manipulates Polaroid SX-70 photographs, giving them a dream-like impressionistic effect, has received numerous awards for his artwork, currently exhibits work in the Western United States, has commission works to his credit and his manipulated images have been published in numerous magazines and newspapers.
LaRiccia organized and produced "Le Salon des Refuses" a special exhibit of artwork refused by the Mayor's Art Show in Eugene Oregon. LaRiccia is also the Art Director at the W.O.W. Hall - Community Center for the Performing Arts.
The CCPA/W.O.W. Hall Gallery has been a showcase for Salon des Refuses artists. LaRiccia has organized and produced exhibits at the WOW Hall since June 1992. He has received endless gratitude and recognition for helping struggling artists and bringing new and fresh artwork into the W.O.W. Hall.
Prints and cards of laser copied original manipulated artwork are available at local galleries and bookstores.
