‘Harbours and Havens neatly captures the subject of Gardiner’s paintings: the south coast of England, which he has been patiently, creatively, exploring for over three decades. What is new here – as well as works made in 2023 – is the opportunity to see how his practice has developed over the past 25 years. In Harbours and Havens are paintings that revisit and re-present subjects, reflecting the light that alters the cast and colour of the coast from minute to minute; paintings that refresh, recalibrate and revitalise our vision of landscape through Gardiner’s eyes.’
