HUME fig.: Gary
Hume Gary
Hume has developed a unique painting technique for rendering his ideas
onto surfaces. He uses common commercial household paints in
premixed hues, which he pours onto his horizontal work surfaces. To
achieve a smooth, even result, he uses aluminum panels. Generally speaking,
one has to see Gary Hume’s paintings in the original in order
to experience the full effect. The luster and reflective quality of
the gloss paint, the often very close hues, the embedded relief drawings
discernible only in sidelight do not lend themselves readily to reproduction
through photographic and printing means – a strategy to “Save
Painting.”
