Lithuanian Divers Open Underwater Picture Gallery Dive enthusiasts in Lithuania have opened the country’s first underwater picture gallery, saying the waters of a lake in the west of the Baltic state unveil the beauty of art like nowhere on land. Twenty large format photographs by local artists were put on display in lake Plateliai, western Lithuania. Organisers say they plan to expand the project in the future to include stained-glass, water colour paintings as well as sculptures. “Art is experienced totally differently in the water,” Andrius Albrikas, head of local diving academy, told AFP. Bored with diving the same locations over and over again, local divers came up with the idea for the underwater gallery after a couple from a local diving club put their wedding picture underwater to enjoy it every time they dive, Albrikas said. “I believe creators of stained glass, water colour paintings and sculptures will also start displaying their works. There could be mobile galleries to move from one lake to another and to other countries,” Albrikas said. “Of course, this is not the Red Sea, but now you can’t complain there is nothing to be seen in local lakes,” he joked.

立陶宛潛水愛好者創辦水下照片藝術館 立陶宛的潛水愛好者們開創了全國第一水下圖片藝術館,聲稱位于波羅的海西部一個湖面的水域呈現了地球上無與倫比的藝術之美。 二十幅由當地藝術家拍攝的大幅面照片在立陶宛西部的Plateliai湖泊中得到展出。 組織者說,他們計劃在未來擴大該項目,將彩繪玻璃、水彩繪畫以及雕塑也搬到水下。 “在水下欣賞藝術可以讓人得到全新的體驗,”當地潛水學院負責人Andrius Albrikas告訴法新社。 Albrikas說,在相同地點一遍又一遍的潛水讓人覺得無聊,所以人們萌生了水下藝術館的個想法,這還是受當地潛水俱樂部一對夫妻的啟發,他們把結婚照放到水下,每次潛水的時候都在水中欣賞一番。 “我相信彩繪玻璃、水彩繪畫和雕塑作品的作者們也將開始在水下展示他們的作品。甚至可以做成移動畫廊,把作品從一個湖泊搬到另一個湖泊,再到其他國家,”Albrikas說。 “當然,這不是紅海,但現在你不能再抱怨湖里沒有什么可看的了,”他開玩笑說。
