Themes and style:
Since the late
nineties, Gardner's paintings, drawings, and lithographs have explored a
specifically North American middle-class world of masculinity and the
photographic conventions used to document it. His source material comprises
snapshots, either found or taken by the artist, which capture the rites of
passage in which his subjects partake. His early watercolors render in exacting
detail the amateur photography taken by his brothers to chronicle the drunken
exploits of their friends.
Techniques:
His work is develop in watercolours and
pastel

In
his own words:
“I
guess my first influence was in high school art class looking through the art
books and I was struck by a painting by Eric Fischl, “sleep walker” I think
it’s called. The boy is standing in the kiddie pool, I think he’s
masturbating. Fischl’s work opened my
eyes to what was possible in terms of painting and drawing pictures.”
