Gardiner seeks to capture the environmental processes that shape the surface of the earth and his vision of landscape reflects the genius loci or sense of place of his subjects. [12] His artworks have been compared with those of Paul Nash and Graham Sutherland. [13] His paintings are the product of a long engagement with coastal landscapes in Britain. [14] He has continued the approach to landscapes of 20th-century St Ives modernist artists such as Peter Lanyon, Ben Nicholson, and John Tunnard. [10] Gardiner's landscape subjects have included locations from the Jurassic Coast, [15] [16] especially in Dorset, and the coastline of Cornwall, [17] in southern England.
Jeremy Gardiner's work Purbeck Light Years used hybrid techniques combining computer animation, painting and drawing, and immersive virtual reality. [18] Gardiner also worked on a project Light Years Coast, a virtual recreation of the Jurassic Coast in Dorset. [19]
During 1984-86, Gardiner was a US Harkness Fellow in the MIT Media Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States. [20] [21] Also in 1984, he was awarded a UK Churchill Fellowship. [11]
Gardiner was the winner of the 2003 Peterborough Art prize for the work Purbeck Light Years. [11] In 2013, he was awarded The Discerning Eye ING Art Prize for the work Pendeen Lighthouse Cornwall. [22]

It is bordered by Somerset to the north-west, Wiltshire to the north and the north-east, Hampshire to the east, the Isle of Wight across the Solent to the south-east, the English Channel to the south, and Devon to the west. The largest settlement is Bournemouth, and the county town is Dorchester.

Swanage is a coastal town and civil parish in the south east of Dorset, England. It is at the eastern end of the Isle of Purbeck and one of its two towns, approximately 6+1⁄4 miles (10 km) south of Poole and 25 miles (40 km) east of Dorchester. In the 2011 census the civil parish had a population of 9,601. Nearby are Ballard Down and Old Harry Rocks, with Studland Bay and Poole Harbour to the north. Within the parish are Durlston Bay and Durlston Country Park to the south of the town. The parish also includes the areas of Herston, just to the west of the town, and Durlston, just to the south.
The Isle of Purbeck is a peninsula in Dorset, England. It is bordered by water on three sides: the English Channel to the south and east, where steep cliffs fall to the sea; and by the marshy lands of the River Frome and Poole Harbour to the north. Its western boundary is less well defined, with some medieval sources placing it at Flower's Barrow above Worbarrow Bay. John Hutchins, author of The History and Antiquities of the County of Dorset, defined Purbeck's western boundary as the Luckford Lake stream, which runs south from the Frome. According to writer and broadcaster Ralph Wightman, Purbeck "is only an island if you accept the barren heaths between Arish Mell and Wareham as cutting off this corner of Dorset as effectively as the sea." The most southerly point is St Alban's Head.

Jeremy Deller is an English conceptual, video and installation artist. Much of Deller's work is collaborative; it has a strong political aspect, in the subjects dealt with and also the devaluation of artistic ego through the involvement of other people in the creative process. He won the Turner Prize in 2004 and represented Great Britain at the Venice Biennale in 2013.
