Gary Hume Exhibition held at Leeds Art Gallery

English painter, draughtsman and printmaker Gary Hume emerged as one of the leading figures of the group of young artists working in London in the 1990s. Hume is known for figurative and abstract paintings on aluminum panels, which often feature startling color combinations made with paints purchased premixed from a hardware store. His glossy, popular imagery captured and defined a zeitgeist, at a time when the art scene was becoming increasingly professionalised and implicated with the popular media.

Four Doors (1) 1989/1990 Oil on four panels 239 x 594 cm

Artifact
I will be looking at Sexuality and Identity on this project. Im interested in the way a woman's body is used and portrayed in photography. My final outcomes will be photography and producing a set of underwear, that will then be used in the photo shoot.

Transgender model Andrej Pejic

Andrej Pejic is a slender, spectacularly beautiful blonde, a softly spoken 19-year-old. His look is the effeminate opposite of the handsome, ripped male models, and is part of a new breed of model that the media are calling the ‘femiman’ - the gender-neutral face of now. As the icon of the fashion season, his extreme androgyny reflects a change in societal values, where multiple lifestyles and sexualities are explored.
