Liquid Art Designs is a fascinating voyage led by the artist, James Unger. His underwater view of marine life and his fresh interpretation and techniques are attracting the attention of many. What James does with an airbrush and the style he has perfected, bring color, light, and marine life onto a canvas that is a riot of bright hues and the shades of blue of the surrounding Gulf and bay waters. The reality of hammer head sharks, turtles, and a myriad of other sea creatures are presented in a lovely, real way, as well as being delightfully surreal. It gives the viewer a lot to consider and a bird’s-eye-view of some breathtaking, one-of-a-kind representations found in our Florida waters.
