Gary Stewart Hume (born 9 May 1962)〔http://www.royalacademy.org.uk/academicians/painters/gary-hume-ra,182,AR.html〕 is an English artist. Hume's work is strongly identified with the YBA artists who came to prominence in the early 1990s. Hume currently lives and works in London and Accord, New York.〔(Gary Hume ) Matthew Marks Gallery, New York/Los Angeles.〕 ==Life and career== Hume was born in 1962 in Tenterden, Kent. He attended Homewood School. He graduated from Goldsmiths College in 1988. His work was included in both Freeze, an exhibition organised by Damien Hirst in 1988, and East Country Yard, a warehouse exhibition organised by Henry Bond and Sarah Lucas in 1990.〔Carol Vogel (20 June 2013), (Finding Meaning in the Mundane: A Midcareer Survey of Gary Hume Paintings ) ''New York Times''.〕 Hume has become known for depicting everyday subjects using high-gloss industrial paints.〔Carol Vogel (20 June 2013), (Finding Meaning in the Mundane: A Midcareer Survey of Gary Hume Paintings ) ''New York Times''.〕 His earliest notable works are his "door paintings", life-size representations of hospital doors. These proved a critical success, being shown in Germany and the United States, as well as attracting the attention of collector Charles Saatchi. Hume's work was included in the 1995 exhibition ''Brilliant!'', a showcase of work by YBA artists. In 1997, his work was included in ''Sensation'', a touring show of the Charles Saatchi art collection at the Royal Academy, London. Hume abandoned doors in the mid-1990s, turning to paintings in household gloss paint on aluminium panel, for these often used appropriated images, including pictures of celebrities (e.g. DJ Tony Blackburn) and animals. Their forms and colours are dramatically simplified, with people being reduced to just two or three colours. ''Snowman'' (1996), for example, is made up of three shades of red, showing a circle on top of a larger circle against a lighter background. At first, Hume used mainly bright colours, but later pieces have used more muted tones. Around 2005, Hume revisited his ''Door'' pictures, this time anthropomorphising the doors, arranging them into pairs of lovers and giving them the titles ''The Couple'' and ''The Argument''.〔(Gary Hume: Carnival, March 12 – April 30, 2005 ) Matthew Marks Gallery, New York.〕 Hume's “Yellow Window,” 〔()〕 from 2002, broke records when sold at auction at Christie's.〔()〕 The work inspired a later limited edition entitled "1000 Windows," produced for London's Tate Modern in 2013.〔()〕 Besides his London studio, Hume maintains a second studio in a converted barn on the grounds of a former chicken farm in New York's Catskill Mountains region.〔Randy Kennedy (16 August 2005), (Billboard-size tributes to public art ) ''New York Times''.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gary Hume」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
