Gary Hume RA

Gary Hume RA's intriguing work experiments with scale, proportion and unexpected colour to reveal a wide range of subject matter tinted with a characteristic element of ambiguity.

Artist profile

Gary Hume RA graduated from Goldsmith’s College in 1988. That same year, he took part in his first group exhibitions at Karsten Schubert Ltd and in Freeze: Part II at Surrey Docks.
