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.
