In
1979, Robert Lyn Nelson created his landmark
painting 'Two Worlds' and, with it, the Modern
Marine Art Movement. A native of southern California,
born in 1955, Nelson was a child prodigy who
produced drawings of remarkable quality at age
three. At thirteen, he was offered scholarships
at Chaffey and Mount San Antonio Colleges, both
of which he attended while still in high school.
His vision of life above and below the ocean's
surface launched a successful and widely adopted
genres of contemporary art, and has become the
powerful symbol for one of the most compassionate
environmental efforts of our time, the struggle
to preserve the life of the sea. 'I wanted to
paint the precise sensation of being in two
universes at once. I could see it when I went
diving, and I wanted to share it with the world.'
The
prominence of Nelson's marine work should not
overshadow his abilities in a remarkable variety
of forms. What unifies Nelson's body of work
is his pain-staking perfectionism.
