“FATHER OF MODERN MARINE
ART”
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EXCLUSIVE
DEALER
ABOUT THE ARTIST
In
1979, Robert Lyn Nelson created his landmark painting "Two
Worlds" and, with it, the Modern Marine Art Movement.
His vision of life above and below the ocean's surface launched
a successful and widely imitated genre 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.
Nelson works in multiple mediums to capture
all the different aspects of sea life, including Oil, Acrylic,
Lithography, Serigraphy, Marble, Granite, and Charcoal. What
unifies Nelson's body of work is painstaking perfectionism.
He often takes months to complete a single painting, however, "Technique
by itself results only in a beautiful but lifeless reflection," Nelson
contends, adding that a true work of art is "full of
ideas, attitudes, opinions, beliefs, observations, and emotions.
It glows with its own inner light. I believe in a Majestic
spark that brings great paintings to life."
Wassmann Fine Arts is proud to be the exclusive
Southern California dealer for Nelson's works. Come see
his new collection of Giclee prints on canvas. With hand-embellishments,
these high quality prints on canvas look amazingly like the
original paintings.
