Jason de CairesTaylor/傑森-德凱萊斯-泰勒1974年出生於英國的泰勒跟著父母在歐洲和亞洲度過了他豐富的童年,早年在馬來西亞的珊瑚礁成長也在英格蘭接受著教育,1998年在倫敦藝術學院雕塑專業畢業,然而泰勒卻跨界成為出色的潛水教練和水下博物館學家和海底攝影師。現在他已經有超過20年的潛水經驗,屢獲水下攝影師特殊榮譽,他的海底博物館計劃讓人為之震撼而深思。
2006年,泰勒在印度群島格瑞那達西海岸創建了世界上第一個水下雕塑公園,現已被列為國家地理世界前25的奇蹟之一,也是由當地政府建立的國家海洋保護區的特色項目。泰勒的藝術思考跟以往的藝術不同,他創造了時間和空間上的一個悖論,構建了一個時空壓縮重疊下的矛盾思維空間,顛覆了我們傳統的視覺思維習慣,描繪著人類生命行為同自然生物生態博弈進程中的種種遐想。許多出版刊物和紀錄片記錄了出色的工作(包括BBC,CNN,今日美國,衛報,時尚,新的科學家和探索頻道)但沒有非常準確的語言文字可以相當公正地詮釋他的藝術思想; 對於他的每一個網站的訪問實際是既獨特又受海洋的動態波動的環境。他的開拓性的公共藝術項目也是海洋保護成功的唯一案例,鼓勵在社會變革的同時增強環保意識,引領我們的通過藝術作品欣賞海底世界的壯麗的自然美景。在2014年的夏天泰勒在巴哈馬群島的「海洋圖集」,是目前世界上衡量高5米,重量超過60噸的大型水下雕塑群。With over 20 years diving experience under his belt, Taylor is also an award winning underwater photographer, famous for his dramatic images, which capture the metamorphosing effects of the ocean on his evolving sculptures.Taylor is currently based in Lanzarote part of the Canary Islands working on a major new underwater museum for the Atlantic Ocean.In 2006, Taylor founded and created the world’s first underwater sculpture park. Situated off the west coast of Grenada in the West Indies it is now listed as one of the Top 25 Wonders of the World by National Geographic and was instrumental in the creation of a National Marine Protected Area by the local Government. Following on in 2009 he co-founded MUSA (Museo Subacuático de Arte)a monumental museum with a collection of over 500 of his sculptural works, submerged off the coast of Cancun, Mexico; described by Forbes as one of the world’s most unique travel destinations. Both these ambitious, permanent public works have a practical, functional aspect, facilitating positive interactions between people and fragile underwater habitats while at the same relieving pressure on natural resources.During the summer of 2014 Taylor submerged 「Ocean Atlas」 in the Bahamas, which is currently the largest single underwater sculpture in the world measuring 5 meters high and weighing over 60 tons.Born in 1974 to an English father and Guyanese mother, Taylor grew up in Europe and Asia, where he spent much of his early childhood exploring the coral reefs of Malaysia. Educated in the South East of England, Taylor graduated from the London Institute of Arts in 1998 with a BA Honours in Sculpture and went on to become a fully qualified diving instructor and underwater naturalist. Taylor’s art is like no other, a paradox of creation, constructed to be assimilated by the ocean and transformed from inert objects into living breathing coral reefs, portraying human intervention as both positive and life-encouraging. Numerous publications and documentaries have featured his extraordinary work, including the BBC, CNN, USA Today, the Guardian, Vogue, New Scientist and the Discovery Channel, yet nothing can quite do justice to the ephemeral nature of his art; for each actual visit to his sites is both unique and subject to the dynamic, fluctuating environment of the ocean.His pioneering public art projects are not only examples of successful marine conservation, but works of art that seek to encourage environmental awareness, instigate social change and lead us to appreciate the breathtaking natural beauty of the underwater world.
