Welcome to the world of artist, Irene Gardiner.
We
are very pleased to now be representing the stunning artist, Irene
Gardiner, who lives and works in Wales. Her work is incredible and we
are among many others who believe she is the next big thing in art.
Irene
Gardiner, the mother of Neon Hitch, is an artist in her own right. With
years of travelling the globe, living on the outskirts of society, she
made a Bedford Panorama mark 1 bus her family home, as seen in Tom
Hunters, Rave Today exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery in London.
Whilst
raising four children, Neon being the eldest, Irene has taught,
innovated, performed and crafted creatively, adapting to new materials
and places as she travels. From copper jewellery to fine art, from the
Himalayas to Barcelona, she has constantly developed her painting style,
one free from limitations. Often, staying up late, children asleep, by
candlelight, with no running water, Irene would paint, saying:
“To
paint on my own, isolated, at night, outside of the usual, whatever
that is, allows me to leave all expectations behind and draw out of my
creative core, those expressive thoughts that are usually silenced. It
also lets me experiment whilst no one is looking, like using abstract
print work, layered into the thick acrylic, it doesn’t always come out
as you expect and the freedom to be invisible helps those moments you
would rather people didn’t see.”
