Artist Bio
Mr Gardner is a multi-disciplinary Artist and Architect who has maintained a low profile as a visual artist. He was mentioned in the most recent Charmin Prize for “The Snowball Shack”. He has primarily exhibited a broad range of works in various Bermuda Biennials including ‘After the Party’ 2010, which installed 100 Bermuda Stone Birthday Cakes in the Bermuda National Gallery and ‘The Triangle’ 2014 installation, which acknowledged the 50th Anniversary of the publication that coined the term. The installation was recognised by The New York Times. It also jump-started Bermuda embracing the Bermuda Triangle as being Bermuda’s most internationally recognised association. In 2018, he redesigned Albuoy’s Point Park in Hamilton as The Bermuda Triangle Park for The Corporation of Hamilton. He is followed internationally, including through a TEDx Bermuda presentation, ‘Painting on Planes, ‘ documenting his multi-year project of painting while flying. His work can be seen on Instagram @noj.design.
