Gary Hume (b.1962) is well known for his paintings on aluminium panels, which often feature striking colour combinations made using household paint. His sculpture is perhaps less familiar, though in fact he has continued to make three-dimensional objects throughout his career and it has often had a strong punctuating presence in his exhibitions of 'painting'. In 2010, at the time of his show at the New Art Centre, he joked that he tried his hand at sculpture in the very early days but: "They kept falling over. That was my main trouble: gravity." (The Independent) In fact, Hume's sculpture - such as 'Beauty Spot', which was shown in the park at Roche Court in 2008 - are amongst some of his most compelling images and any such practical problems were overcome a long time ago.

Gary Hume lives and works between London and Upstate New York. He represented Britain at the Venice Biennale in 1999 and the São Paulo Biennial in 1996, the same year he was nominated for the Turner Prize. In 2001 he was elected to the Royal Academy of Arts, London. Recent solo exhibitions include Gary Hume: Mirrors and other creatures, Sprüth Magers, London (2024), Gary Hume: A Selection of Prints 1994 – 2022, Lyndsey Ingram, London (2024), Gary Hume, Matthew Marks Gallery, New York (2023), and Gary Hume: Carvings at the New Art Centre, Salisbury (2019). His most recent exhibition was a duo show, Richard Artschwager / Gary Hume, at  Sprüth Magers, New York in 2026. He has exhibited at the Tate Britain in both a solo and group capacity, and his work is held in numerous collections including the Arts Council of Great Britain, the Art Institute of Chicago, Saatchi Collection, British Council, Tate Gallery, Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg, and the DESTE Foundation for Contemporary Art, Athens.
