Book Description
In Gary Hume: The Wonky Wheel, the renowned British artist updates the genre of history painting for the twenty-first century. With the 18 paintings and three sculptures gathered in this volume--all new and never before published--Hume unveils colorful abstractions rooted in contemporary conflict and the fragility of human life. If these most recent works are, as Hume himself stresses, a form of history painting--representations of a series of "pregnant moments" connected to one of the great historical dramas of our time--Hume short-circuits this notion by rendering their historical scenes all but invisible, thus apparently declaring his disinterest in any narrative whatsoever. Nonetheless, these moments form the building blocks of the work. History's forward progress is constant, Hume's art proposes, but it is always wonky.

Book Description
Gary Hume (born 1962) first found acclaim in London in the late 1980s, when his bold paintings of hospital doors, rendered at life-size scale in high-gloss hardware store paints on aluminum panels, drew much attention and ushered Hume into the ranks of the Young British Artists. Twenty years later, Yardwork features recent paintings and sculpture completed by Gary Hume in his upstate New York studio. The pictures explore familiar themes in Hume's work, including flowers, birds, doors and female figures. In the new work, however, the doors are now barn doors, as opposed to the hospital doors found in his earlier works; the blackbirds, roses and daisies are all things he sees from his window, not images drawn from books or media. Yardwork includes an essay by Dave Hickey that places Hume's paintings in the context of a group of artists the author names abstractionists of daily life.

Author: Gary Hume
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781944929152
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 64
Book Description
In his latest body of work Hume focuses on a range of subjects, but at its core is a suite of highly personal paintings about memory and loss. His mother is 86 years old and suffers from dementia. And while the ostensible subjects of many of the new paintings are flowers, their titles ? Mourning, Spent, Blind ? reflect Hume?s thoughts of her. Mum on the Couch (2017), a more direct portrait, depicts the artist?s aging mother in her current condition, a poignant contrast to the vibrant woman of her son?s memories.00This catalogue includes large-format full-color reproductions of more than thirty new works. In addition to Hume?s signature aluminum panels, he recently began painting on large sheets of paper. His preferred paint, a highly reflective household gloss, creates textures and reflections on the paper that become an integral part of the work. As Alexander Nagel writes in the essay, ?Apparitions of shifting light and shade playing over the surface, we are always part of their subject matter.?00Exhibition: Matthew Marks Gallery, New York, USA (04.11.-22.12.2017).

Artist in Residence
Author: Simon Bill
Publisher: Sort of Books
ISBN: 1908745584
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 307
Book Description
For Simon Bill's drunken anti-hero, an abstract artist forced to haunt private views to siphon the free booze, the picture looks bleak. He has been dumped by his curator girlfriend and the only dealer left with time for him is the one who sells him drugs. But his luck changes when he's offered a job as artist in residence at a neurological institute. Enthralled by the characters and conditions he encounters - and infatuated by the beautiful amnesiac Emily - he sees a chance to revive his career, and love life, with a neuro-inspired show. However, all is not quite as it seems at the shiny new institute ... In this mordantly witty (modern) art farce, Simon Bill lifts the lid on the venal, novelty-seeking world of London's contemporary art scene, while enlightening us on the fascinating workings of the human brain, particularly as it shapes our response to art. The result is a delightfully dark, highly original novel that is both eye-opening and fun.
