JEREMY GARDINER

In Gardiner’s paintings we find the same sensation as when walking among mountains – of man’s staggering insignificance, and the consequent sense of liberation at being so small and so transitory an episode in the greater scheme of things.

Turquoise Harbour, Lundy South Lighthouse by Jeremy Gardiner

Jeremy’s work presents a different notion of the landscape, a much more contemporary updating of the work of the St Ives artists, and it looks at time and the landscape.

Gardiner’s distinctive laminar landscapes reveal their layered meanings only over time – this is not instant art, but art which discloses itself gradually.

Its richness matches the complexity of the world it seeks to evoke, and offers back an interpretation of it which is both personal and penetrating.

Jeremy Gardiner, retouching, 3D Map of Jurassic Coast

The traditional method for creating 3D landscape models is manually assembled plaster models. For the Jurassic Coast model I have employed a CNC computer numerically controlled milling machine.

A high resolution photomosaic of satellite imagery of the Devon and Dorset coast was supplied by Andy Ford of Bournemouth University. The data from this 300mm print was then painted onto the relief.
