Kim Keever combined his background in engineering, science, and art by harnessing his knowledge in fluid flow dynamics. The result as he calls it is "art underwater." Fluid flow dynamics is concerned with the movement of liquid and gasses. Fluid moves differently with different densities, temperature, pressure, energy, volume, weight, and viscosity.
The process of underwater art starts with a 200-gallon water-filled tank where Keever pours paint and ink into the tank. Outside of the tank is a high-resolution camera that captures the unique and one-of-a-kind color forms, anthropomorphic and just plain strange forms that he could never hope to achieve as a painter.
To carry out and enhance the art, Keever began utilizing landscape objects made from plaster and placing them within the tank. The combination of landscape and paint creates an enigmatic effect that evokes great landscapes of the primordial world, similar to ours but in artificial form.
Kim Keever takes multiple photographs to capture the moment of mingling and billowing of pigments, the best photos are selected for further work. Keever sometimes works on editing one piece for months to enhance and amplify the perfect end result.
