Review

'Jeremy Gardiner's paintings of the southern English coast draw on the mid-century abstraction of the St Ives school, with a millennial twist. This is the first monograph on the pioneering landscapist, and it considers both the resonance of his poetic forms and the new technologies (such as 3D digital imaging and geomorphology) that give rise to them.'
