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 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. His Collected Impressionist, Neo-Cubist, Neo-Futurist, And Other Non-Representational Works Could Each Have Generated A Successful Career. What Unifies Nelson's Body Of Work Is His Pain-Staking Perfectionism. Robert Often Takes Months To Complete A Single Painting. Nelson's Collectors Include Many Public Figures And Leading Institutions, And Donations Of His Work And Personal Appearances Have Resulted In Significant Financial Contributions To Many Environmental Organizations. 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. At Fifteen, The First Public Exhibition Of His Work Was Virtually Sold Out.
