Duane Gardner
Duane Gardner is a native of Dallas, Texas , and currently lives and has his studio in Fayetteville Arkansas. He earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the School of Visual Arts at the University of North Texas, in Denton. He was nominated for Yale at Norfolk Fellowship.
Gardner has always been attracted to abstract painting and the Abstract Expressionist movement has been the strongest influence on his work. Early on in his painting career he realized that for him painting was a combination of problem solving with the process of painting.
His work is marked by constant editing, adding and subtracting of paint, lines, and shapes and allows the history of the painting to be seen. The viewer can see the decisions that were made to achieve the final product, the evidence of solving the problem. But it also makes the viewer wonder what may be going on underneath the images they see.
Duane Gardner participated in several group and individual exhibits and his work is represented in private and public collections throughout the United States and Europe. Recent exhibit history includes: Without Evidence movies
