About the Item

Palm Beach native and grandson of iconic fashion designer Lilly Pulitzer, Chris Leidy grew up with a deep admiration for the ocean and aquatic life and has made his mark as a world-renowned underwater photographer. He explains his artistic mission, striving to create “a collection of photographs that not only appealed to ocean-enthusiasts, but the contemporary fine art lovers as well,” and his works provide breathtaking images of island life and aquatic landscapes that far surpass traditional underwater photography. Forbes magazine calls Leidy “the prince of tides,” and his works are often accompanied by stories of face-to-face encounters with ten-foot sharks and late night dives during his month long stays on deserted islands. He admits that many of his photos are “happy accidents” and products of his curiosity and explorations. He explains: “To have one shot you’re looking for really blocks your creative, wandering eye. Seeing something you’re not looking for could turn out to be some amazing masterpiece.” Created in limited editions of 5 or 7, each piece from Leidy's current collection was captured during his underwater explorations around the world, including three months in Papua New Guinea, Indonesia French Polynesia, Panama and another three month venture to Palau/Micronesia, Maldives, and Fiji. Leidy’s work has been featured in Ocean Drive, The Wall Street Journal, Condé Nast Traveler and Forbes Magazine, and his most recent exhibitions include the Christie’s Green Auction in April 2012 and Fathom, a 25 piece solo exhibition at Condé Nast in NY which then traveled to ARC Fine Art in Fairfield, Connecticut in the summer of 2012.
