Making photo journals since primary school, Neal Andrew Emil Gustafson’s black-and-white photographic art has developed over the last two decades—through an objective-focused creative practice of process—into a visual dialect of subtle symmetrical contrast and conceptual counterpoint. The Unconditional Love collection—Les Études Noir, Nº1—features a unique noir perspective, contrasting abstractions with ominous melancholy.

Framing feelings of familiarity against the endless oblivion of the unknown, his empathetic imagery illustrates many uncommon perspectives in modern metropolitan life. Gustafson’s melancholic noir imagery has always narrated his deep love affair and romance with structured creativity—the son of an academic architect (Marvin Emil Gustafson Jr), he grew up on a drafting table, helping with constantly moving blueprints—he always found buildings fascinating.
