Providing a comprehensive assessment of Jeremy Gardiner's career to
date, this monograph, the first of its kind, explains how this
distinctive artist has taken the exploratory landscape vision of
mid-century St Ives modernists like Ben Nicholson, Peter Lanyon and
John Tunnard into a new post-millennial era. Gardiner's unique
geological interpretation of landscape not only describes the
current lie of the land but portrays it as a complex outcome of
natural processes over vast periods of time. While indebted to
British and American modernism, Gardiner's new conceptual rigour
and technical repertoire is informed by science, geomorphology, new
technologies and direct physical engagement with ancient
landscapes. Following a distinguished international teaching
career, based in Britain and the United States, Gardiner's
landscape subjects have included geographically varied locations
from the Jurassic Coast in his native Dorset and the rugged
Atlantic seaboard of Cornwall, to the jagged volcanic topographies
of the Brazilian oceanic islands and the Lake District. Including
essays from leading art writers, this book provides an insight into
the career of one of Britain's most innovative contemporary
landscape artists.
