Press Release

Matthew Marks is pleased to announce Gary Hume, the next exhibition in his gallery at 523 West 24th Street.

The exhibition features eleven new paintings made with household enamel on aluminum panels. Several of the new works depict images of swans. Hume uses the bird’s long necks, heads, and beaks to create intertwined, complex compositions between image and abstraction. In the artist’s own words: “I like to make beautiful, singular objects that give people some pause in their life. They’re about being human.”

Gary Hume (b. 1962) lives and works in London and Accord, New York. His work has been the subject of one-person exhibitions at numerous museums, including the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin, Kunsthaus Bregenz in Austria, Tate Britain in London, and Museum Dhondt-Dhaenens in Deurle, Belgium. He represented Britain at the São Paulo Biennial in 1996 and the Venice Biennale in 1999.
