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.

立陶宛潜水爱好者创办水下照片艺术馆 立陶宛的潜水爱好者们开创了全国第一水下图片艺术馆,声称位于波罗的海西部一个湖面的水域呈现了地球上无与伦比的艺术之美。 二十幅由当地艺术家拍摄的大幅面照片在立陶宛西部的Plateliai湖泊中得到展出。 组织者说,他们计划在未来扩大该项目,将彩绘玻璃、水彩绘画以及雕塑也搬到水下。 “在水下欣赏艺术可以让人得到全新的体验,”当地潜水学院负责人Andrius Albrikas告诉法新社。 Albrikas说,在相同地点一遍又一遍的潜水让人觉得无聊,所以人们萌生了水下艺术馆的个想法,这还是受当地潜水俱乐部一对夫妻的启发,他们把结婚照放到水下,每次潜水的时候都在水中欣赏一番。 “我相信彩绘玻璃、水彩绘画和雕塑作品的作者们也将开始在水下展示他们的作品。甚至可以做成移动画廊,把作品从一个湖泊搬到另一个湖泊,再到其他国家,”Albrikas说。 “当然,这不是红海,但现在你不能再抱怨湖里没有什么可看的了,”他开玩笑说。
