JUST KEEP SWIMMING

Jason de Caires Taylor 1

Hey everyone this is a fellow guest blogger Nancy Acevedo!

 

The underwater sculpture museum is something that is completely new to me. It’s fascinating how not only are they extremely beautiful, the sculptures are made out of ceo-frinedly material. At first I was a bit worried about that, having people create stuff and have them underwater where so many species live. I was thinking on the negative effect that this kind of art could potentially have. But after I found out that it “promotes coral reef growth”, I didn’t think it was so bad after all. Jason deCaire Taylor has truly created a phenomenon in my opinion; just imagine years from now, how interesting and amazing it will be for people to discover this exhibit.

Here is another video that shows more of the underwater art and how they look before they are put into the sea.

Colorful sea creature? Nope!, It’s some awesome underwater sculptures

 

Images by  Forlane 6 Studio

While brainstorming for ideas I got from Chris Rogan’s Blog , I came aross these amazing underwater sculptures from Forlane 6 Studio. They are a duo of two artists named Hortense Le Calvez and his partner Mathieu Goussin. Goussin enlisted as a Merchant Navy Officer and Le Calvez trained as a scuba instructor. They create sculptures and installations that take place under the sea. Some of their artwork includes clumps of paper that could easily pass as some bizarre variety of seaweed. They stated that they find a lot of inspiration in existing sea creatures, from the bioluminescent plankton to the small fish mastering the art of camouflage. Le Calvez and Goussin often resort to using actual found stuff.

For their most recent projects, they spent a few weeks anchored at an uninhabited island, scavenging an abandoned restaurant for materials. Working underwater means embracing unpredictability.  They explained that they never know exactly how the sculptures will behave,  and which is the fun part. Most of time they have to adjust the buoyancy with weights or small floating device. Making fishing lines knots underwater which can be always challenging .

My Mission Statement

The purpose of my blog is to not only create a space but to also show case artwork from animators, photographers, illustrators and painters from all walks of life and culture. I will also be focusing primarily on the visual arts, though performance art will not be off limits. I would like to inspire, stimulate, entertain and also educate my readers. I simply love searching for new things.

I would like to connect or bridge the gap between the design studios and my readers. I enjoy being constantly well informed and I like to offer my point of view, always in a personal way. I will also be visiting art galleries and museums at least once a week and take photographs of the art works that captures my attentions. I hope to capture readers attentions and encourage dialogue and networking with my readers.. When possible I’ll be posting interviews and/or asking local artist to make a post of their own to add another perspective and broaden the discussion.

Finally, I would like this blog to be a place for open discussion. The name of my blog is “ 1 on 1 art blog” . I chose this name because it gives the reader a “ 1 on 1” tone when reading my blog as you would with a tutor, teacher or colleague. I will be posting various medium of art such as Illustration, paintings, drawings, animations, videos, sculptures etc. I will be including as much links as possible from various art blogs. My blog will have a somewhat formal writing style and a professional tone.
