Grenada's Underwater Sculpture Gallery Looks Absolutely Amazing

In May, 2006, sculptor Jason Taylor launched his Underwater Sculpture Gallery in Grenada. The unique artistic display celebrates Caribbean culture while it simultaneously explores the constantly changing relationship between art and the environment. More importantly, the Gallery is a fascinating dive destination.

Sculpting the pieces in the Gallery looks time-consuming and labor-intensive. For divers exploring the work, however, it appears to be worth it: the pieces aren't just statues or swim-throughs. They're gorgeous, multi-dimensional displays of genius. La Diablesse, for example, is fashioned from concrete and steel and secured to the ocean substrate. The effect is a sublime underwater goddess -- at once beautiful and wretched -- watching over the reef. Meanwhile, The Lost Correspondent is a forlorn, amazing work -- and totally incongruous underwater.

There's no way words can convey the beauty -- and the unusual-ness -- of Talyor's work. To begin to understand his art, check out his image gallery. However, to get the full impact, you should watch this video. It's amazing.

If you want to visit the Sculpture Garden, head to Grenada's Moliniere Bay and get hooked up with the folks at Dive Grenada. Located 2 miles north of the capital on the West coast of the Island, the Gallery sits within a designated National Marine Park.
