Jason De Caires Taylor

I must admit that when it comes to art I am not very sophisticated. I much prefer lowbrow artists like The Pizz (ThePizz.com) or Mark Rydan (MarkRyden.com) however I recently stumbled across an amazing artist that I am sure we can all appreciate and covet.

Jason De Caires Taylor (UnderwaterSculpture.com) is a phenomenal sculptor whose artwork is displayed underwater! Once completed, his pieces are placed underwater to become artificial reefs. The look and feel of his work takes your breath away. (Cheesy I know but I couldn’t help myself.) It’s fun to look at the views of some of his pieces as they are slowly covered with coralline algae, coral and other marine life. This natural process allows for his work to remain fresh and new every few months.

Jason believes that the worlds natural reefs are over fished and over visited and suffer as a result. It is his hope that more attention be given to artificial reefs so that natural reefs can recover and flourish. I personally feel that if he continues to create artificial reefs like these, there will be no shortage of visitors hoping to swim among his creations. Jason’s work can be found around the world with the majority in Mexico.
