Known for transforming landscapes into surfaces laden with matter, memory and time, the British artist Jeremy Gardiner opens a new chapter of his trajectory with Topografias em Barro (Topographies in Clay), an exhibition on view at Galeria Objectismo from 17 October to 21 November 2026. For the first time, Gardiner transfers to ceramics the research on landscape, geology and the passage of time that he has developed for decades in his painting. The result is 18 ceramic wall pieces, inspired by two English regions recognised as UNESCO World Heritage: the Jurassic Coast, in south-west England, and the Lake District, in Cumbria. The move to ceramics does not represent a rupture with Jeremy Gardiner's trajectory. On the contrary: it brings to a new materiality questions that have run through his production for decades — the transformation of the landscape by time, the memory of places and the relationship between history, relief and surface. Gardiner is known for investigating what could be defined as a “geology of the landscape”. In his paintings, he builds surfaces through successive layers of materials, among them wood, Jesmonite (a type of plaster) and paint, which he then scrapes, sands and wears down. The process parallels the very erosion of the earth and the traces left on the landscape by the passage of centuries, by natural phenomena and by human action. In ceramics, this relationship becomes even more physical. Textures, reliefs, colours and superimpositions evoke rock formations, cliffs and territories transformed by water, ice and erosion. The surface ceases to function merely as a support and acquires volume, thickness and presence. If in Gardiner's paintings the landscape is built in layers, in clay those layers literally become matter. More information here.
