Summary

Providing a comprehensive assessment of Jeremy Gardiner's career to date, this monograph, the first of its kind, seeks to explain how this distinctive artist has developed the visions of mid-century landscape modernists like Peter Lanyon, John Tunnard and even Ben Nicholson, to create a post-millennial artistic interpretation of landscape. Gardiner's spatially probing and texturally explicit pictures not only describe the current lie of the land but analyse landscape as the complex outcome of its geological evolution over eons of time. While indebted to British and American modernism, Gardiner's new conceptual rigour and technical repertoire which is informed by science, geomorphology, new technologies and direct physical engagement with ancient landscapes, provides a truly original vision of the world around us. Spanning Gardiner's career to date, his engagement with British, American (he lived and taught in the United States for fourteen years) and Brazilian landscapes is charted through the richly detailed reproductions featured in the book. Including essays from leading art commentators, The Art ofJeremy Gardiner provides a unique insight into the career of one of Britain's most innovative landscape artists.
