- 2. IMAGES OUT OF THE ORDINARY ABOUT THESE IMAGES IT RAINED PRETTY MUCH ALL THE TIME ON PRESS DAY AT THE RHS HAMPTON COURT PALACE FLOWER SHOW AND WHEN IT WASN’T RAINING, THE SKY WAS FLAT GREY. IT WAS IRONIC THEN THAT ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING SHOW GARDENS WAS INTENDED TO RECREATE AN ARID LANDSCAPE AND EQUALLY IRONIC THAT IT CONTAINED HARDLY ANY FLOWERS. THE DISCOVER JORDAN GARDEN, CREATED BY PAUL HERVEY- BROOKES TO COMMEMORATE THE 200TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE RE-DISCOVERY OF PETRA, WAS AT FIRST SIGHT NOT MUCH MORE THAN A PILE OF RUBBLE AMID BROKEN COLUMNS AND WALLS, BUT LOOK A LITTLE CLOSER AND WHAT IMPRESSED ME WAS QUITE HOW AUTHENTIC IT WAS. THIS WAS A STUDY IN LESS IS MORE AND CREATING SOMETHING THAT LOOKED REAL, RATHER THAN IS OFTEN THE CASE WITH SHOW GARDENS, SOMETHING THAT LOOKS COMPLETELY ARTIFICIAL. I LIKED THE RESTRAINT IN THE DESIGN, THE MINIMAL PLANTING, ITS USE OF TEXTURES AND HOW IT RESISTED THE TEMPTATION TO DISNEY-FY A JORDANIAN GARDEN. IT WAS A BOLD ATTEMPT AND ONE THAT I THINK REALLY WORKED. THE JUDGES AGREED, AWARDING IT A GOLD MEDAL. THESE IMAGES PROBABLY DON’T SHOW THE GARDEN AT ITS BEST, BUT EVEN SO I THINK THEY LOOK RATHER NICE. I HOPE YOU LIKE THEM TOO!

IMAGES OUT OF THE ORDINARY ABOUT GARY MARLOWE WITH A BACKGROUND IN MARKETING AND GRAPHIC DESIGN, GARY APPLIES HIS HIGHLY DISTINCTIVE VISUAL STYLE TO CREATING IMAGES OUT OF THE ORDINARY ACROSS A DIVERSE ARRAY OF SUBJECT MATTER, FROM ROCK MUSIC, FAST CARS AND FASHION TO FLOWERS, FOOD AND ANIMALS. WHATEVER THE SUBJECT, HIS WORK IS INSTANTLY RECOGNISABLE, BOTH IN ITS COMPOSITION AND ESPECIALLY WITH ITS PLAYFULLY ILLUSTRATIVE GRAPHIC STYLE. INVARIABLY, HE USES HIS IMAGES TO TELL STORIES AND IMAGINATIVELY CAPTURE A ONE-OFF EXPERIENCE. gary marlowe
