Jeremy Gardiner (Born 1957)

For over twenty years Jeremy Gardiner has exhibited throughout the UK and also the United States, South America and Japan. He has remained responsive to his Purbeck origins, as instinct, impulse and observation have shaped a visual language. Over the years the paintings have undergone shifts in sensibility and have varied in degrees of abstraction with the underlying interest in expressing landscape.
