The first of its kind, this monograph provides a comprehensive assessment of Jeremy Gardiner’s career. He has taken the exploratory landscape vision of St Ives Modernists like Ben Nicholson, Peter Lanyon and John Tunnard, into a new era. The artist’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. Using for his inspiration the Jurassic Coast of Dorset, the rugged Atlantic coast of Cornwall and the volcanic regions of the Lake District and parts of Brazil, these form his core subject matter. The work was shown at King’s Place at the end of 2012.
