Gardiner’s coastal landscapes are based on an intimate knowledge of his subjects, built on first-hand experience and an interest in their underlying geological and cultural history. This is conveyed through working methods that involve building up the picture surface and scouring back the layers, echoing the action of the elements on the coast itself. Over the last five years the artist has travelled from Ilfracombe in north Devon to St Margaret’s Bay in Kent, exploring and painting the dramatic cliffs, rocks, bays and harbours of the south coast.
