American sculptor Jason Taylor this is one of the few artists who managed to combine the completely incompatible. He managed to combine his talents as a sculptor, ceramic artist and diving instructor in one art project called Silent Evolution. Thus, the "Park of underwater sculptures" was created.
The main idea of the project is to eliminate the negative impact of tourists on the natural development of coral reefs. Taylor creates an artificial environment to restore and support coral development. After the completion of the work of engineers, biologists and builders, marine inhabitants took up sculptures, which began to intensively populate the mysterious city created by man.
To create the park, Taylor chose a coral reef, which is located in the waters of the West Indies, off the coast of Mexico. Underwater are at a depth of 9 - 10 meters. They can be easily accessed by scuba gear or viewed from a glass bottom boat without submersion.
The material used to create the underwater sculptures was specially selected to make it easier for marine life to develop. The shape, texture, and chemical composition of Jason's figures encourage the reproduction and growth of embryonic corals. The specially thought-out voids in the sculptures are places for shelter and their peaceful development.
Under water, these figures seem visually much closer and larger. And the glare on the sculptures, created due to the refraction of sunlight, gives them a certain mystery and mystery. Four hundred figures of young people and old people, women and men, ancient and modern. This extraordinary underwater sculpture park shows the changing social and physical make-up of a generation of people from the archaic Mayan civilization to today's cosmopolitan society.
The local residents of Grenada served as models for Taylor's creations. At the beginning, the author of the works made casts of body parts from plaster, and then connected the finished parts of the figures cast from concrete and created a single composition with the help of a steel cable. In this way, a composition was created called “Vacuities of Fate”, where children of different nationalities are holding hands in a circle; "Gardener of Hope", which depicts a girl in the garden;

"The Lost Correspondent" - a sculpture of a lonely man who sits at a table with a typewriter

and rushing into the unknown "Cyclist".

American sculptor Jason Taylor this is one of the few artists who managed to combine the completely incompatible. He managed to combine his talents as a sculptor, ceramic artist and diving instructor in one art project called Silent Evolution. Thus, the "Park of underwater sculptures" was created.
The main idea of the project is to eliminate the negative impact of tourists on the natural development of coral reefs.

The material used to create the underwater sculptures was specially selected to make it easier for marine life to develop. The design, shape, texture, and chemistry of Jason's figures are conducive to the reproduction and growth of embryonic corals. The specially thought-out voids in the sculptures are places for shelter and their peaceful development.
Sculpture overgrown with coral
Under water, these figures seem visually much closer and larger. And the glare on the sculptures, created due to the refraction of sunlight, gives them a certain mystery and mystery. Four hundred figures of young people and old people, women and men, ancient and modern. This extraordinary underwater sculpture park shows the changing social and physical make-up of a generation of people from the archaic Mayan civilization to today's cosmopolitan society.
Amazing underwater world of sculptures nestled on the coast Grenada islands at a depth of 2-8 m in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The author of the art project is a talented sculptor specializing in ceramics, and part-time American scuba diving instructor Jason Taylor (Jason de Caires Taylor).
The idea of such an unusual art project, according to the author of the works, is to provide the public with the opportunity to consider objects in close relationship with the environment, creating a unique space that combines demonstration of natural processes(sculptures eventually become overgrown with shells, algae, and marine life settles in the cavities) with contemporary art.
body of water quite significantly distorts sculptures(objects seem 25% larger and closer), plus add to this the play of light, glare ... All this undoubtedly adds to the underwater world of Taylor's sculptures some mystery and mystery http://malavoi3.martinique.univ-ag.fr/tramil/fototeca/miniatures/t2/kamagra-prix.html .
enough for the sculptures easy to reach by scuba diving, as unusual creations of human hands are placed in shallow water. Also consider underwater world of sculptures you can go on a boat trip in a specialized yacht with a glass bottom.
The models for underwater sculptures were simple local residents of Grenada, the author of the works initially created plaster casts of body parts, and then connected the parts of the sculptures already cast from concrete into a single composition using a steel cable. So there was a composition called Vicissitudes (« vicissitudes of fate”), where children of different nationalities gathered in a circle hold hands; sculpture of a lonely man at a desk with a typewriter, nicknamed " Lost Correspondent", and cyclist rushing into the unknown.
