	Gary Hume
		Gary Hume (born 1962) is a British artist.
		Hume abandoned doors in the early 1990s, turning to smaller-scale paintings in gloss paint[?] on aluminium.
		Hume represented Britain at the 1999 Venice Biennale[?] where he showed his Water series, a number of superimposed line drawings of women (again, these were in gloss on aluminium).

		The interview with Hume focuses on his working process: how and why he paints with gloss paint on aluminium, how he selects imagery and colours, and the difficulty of deciding when a painting is finished.
		Gary Hume was part of a celebrated group that studied at London's Goldsmiths College in the late 1980s.
		Hume was nominated for the Turner Prize in 1996, represented Britain at the Venice Biennale in 1999, and was elected a member of the Royal Academy of Arts in 2001.

	Art on the Plaza
		Gary Hume is known primarily for his richly colored, abstract flora, fauna, and assorted icons rendered on aluminum surfaces, an aesthetic which once won him the title of a "modern day Matisse." Each weighing half a ton, his enameled snowmen are made of clay and then cast in bronze.
		Hume, who was born in Kent, England in 1962, currently lives in London and is represented by Matthew Marks Gallery in New York City.
		Gary Hume was short-listed for the Turner Prize in 1996 and he represented Great Britain in the 1999 Venice Biennale.

		The oily shine, the wet cream of Hume's surfaces, rippled with road-lines and ridges, the violence of greys, greens and pinks, the ugly in the lovely - Beautiful has a shocking fl skull's nose hole - and the slightly grotesque quotation of modern painting prevent these works from ever becoming pretty.
		At his best, Hume seems to have arrived at his images automatically, in a trance, having glimpsed in the wet gloss paint something he remembered at the far corner of his mind.
		Hume is the most elusive artistic personality of the 1990s generation.

		Hume’s strategic use of household paint is a telling one.
		Hume’s work presents a basic physical fact in the guise of an imagistic paradox: his pill-colored, painted enamel surfaces return light like impenetrable mirrors, but tempt us to rend them like wispy, revealing veils all the same.
		Painted on a pair of door-sized, mismatched aluminum panels, Hume’s green and sea-blue work features a rounded, goofy version of an upside-down Baselitz head disjointed by broken lines and what must be a pure Hume invention: a tenth-of-an-inch buckling seam raised between otherwise flat areas of color.

		Gary Hume graduated from Goldsmiths College in 1988, and is part of a generation of artists who have become internationally recognized since their participation in Damien Hirst's 'Freeze' exhibition in London's Docklands.
		Hume's work can be divided into two phases: the Door series, influenced by Conceptual-based art practices of the '60's and 70's, and the subsequent Pop-inspired paintings.
		Hume's images are culled from magazines and books, and are rendered in vibrant enamel paint on large aluminium panels.

		Hume's use of common household paints and his combinations of colors are at once unique and disconcerting.
		Jump ahead a few years, examine Hume’s "Water Paintings" of multiple superimposed nudes, and it’s difficult to believe this is the same artist.
		This review of a 1999 exhibit of Hume's work focuses on his "Angel" series, which employs his usual high-gloss paint, and the "Water Paintings," featuring a design technique that is unusual for Hume.

	Telegraph \| Entertainment \| The comeback king
		Hume's career as an artist echoes that restlessness: he voluntarily cast off an internationally successful style of painting, shocking the art world and friends, and then worked his way through his doubts to surpass his previous eminence.
		Gary came back a few years later with a different kind of work, having been through this transitional period, and we had to start again.
		Sotheby's expert Matthew Carey-Williams says, 'Hume is one of the most desirable painters living and working in Britain today, with queues a mile long waiting to buy his work.' Yet ask Hume about the acclaim and it has as little significance as his previous difficulties.

		The first exhibition in Ireland by Gary Hume, one of the most sought-after and inventive painters working in Britain today, comprises some 30 works and presents a comprehensive overview of the main developments in his engaging but powerful oeuvre over the past ten years.
		Hume’s work is characterised by a distinctive visual vocabulary, combining a bright, colourful palette with simplified, childlike forms.
		Hume first came to public attention in the seminal Freeze show in 1988, which featured artists such as Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin who, like Hume, were soon to acquire celebrity status as yBas (young British artists).

		In England Hume's something of a made man, having appeared in Damien Hirst's legendary 1988 exhibition, "Freeze." He was short-listed for the 1996 Turner Prize and represented his country in the last Venice Biennale.
		A confession: On the night of Hume's opening, catching glimpses of his new paintings through the throng, I was smitten—dazzled by the sexy modern flair of his work.
		Hume's work isn't in front of the culture the way Warhol's was, but he thrives in the one place where that doesn't matter: the fast-moving vehicle that is the London art world.

		In the eighties, Gary Hume (born in 1962 in Kent, England) became a star of the Young itish Art movement virtually overnight with his “Doors” series.
		Hume’s toying with art historical references and his sense of humor also become evident, for example, in the fact that the round window openings and rectangular door handles of the door panels call to mind the abstract Mickey Mouse of the famous steel sculpture “Geometric Mouse, Scale A,” 1969, by Claes Oldenburg.
		When asked about his preferred painting motifs, Gary Hume once answered that he painted “flora, fauna, and portrait.”Hume trawls the collective hackneyed pool of everyday images – whether they be icons of the pop and fashion world, e.g.

		In this new work, Hume continues to employ his unusual palette, making awkward color combinations that, in his hands, are always beautiful: muddy greens and browns with pale lavenders, pinks, oranges, and yellows.
		Executed in his signature high-gloss enamel paint on aluminum, several of Hume’s new paintings are characterized by a dramatic use of negative space of the unpainted aluminum, allowing its muted surface to play off the shiny reflections of the enamel paint.
		Hume represented Britain at the São Paulo Biennale in 1996 and the Venice Biennale in 1999.

		The first exhibition in Ireland by Gary Hume, one of the most sought-after and inventive painters working in Britain today, opened to the public at the Irish Museum of Modern Art on Thursday 3 April 2003.
		Hume’s new paintings, such as Three Shades of Grey, 2002, and Green Hat, 2002, are intriguing as they are generally more muted and darker in form and content than before - slightly melancholic and, sometimes, sinister.
		Born in Kent, England, in 1962, Gary Hume graduated from Goldsmiths College in 1988, one of a generation of artists who have become internationally known as yBas (young British artists).

		Hume's good-humored painterly nonchalance keeps the viewer guessing as to whether he's being naïve or cynical.
		Hume persists in testing his own and his viewers credulity that he is actually painting — as if that is a weird thing for a savvy young artist to be doing.

		The effect is one of brilliant luster, in which slick smooth surfaces of high-gloss paint reveal embedded relief drawings.

		These are held together by a lead tracery that provides both the edge to the expanses of colour as well as a kind of automatic drawing, traced by the natural faults and veins inherent in the stone itself.
		Hume uses both natural and man-made marbles as his palette, in essence pitting the sensibilities of an ornate Baroque décor against the aesthetic of the young city professional's starter flat.
		Hume's monolithic compositions are hand carved and richly decadent, patterned with an expansive visual tapestry that combines elements drawn from the natural world with powerful symbols of human birth and the dawn of mankind.

		GARY HUME: For the paint to stick to the metal you have to prime the surface with an acid-etch primer - which bites into the aluminium allowing the paint to adhere to it - otherwise you could just scrape it off with your fingernail.
		GARY HUME: The very best situation would be three days, from the drawing to the finished painting.
		I got sacked from film editing [Hume had worked as an assistant editor on TV programmes] because I told a director he was a liar in his filmmaking and he wouldn't speak to me after that, which made it impossible to carry on working there.
