1962 - , Kent, England, Elected RA 2001 Gary Hume graduated form Goldsmith’s College, London, in 1988. His first group exhibitions were held that year at Kasten Schubert Ltd, London and in 'Freeze: Part II', at Surrey Docks, London.  Following his fist solo show at Kasten Schubert Ltd, London, in 1989, he rapidly established an international reputation, exhibiting in numerous significant group exhibitions throughout the 1990s. He was short listed for the Tuner Prize in 1996 and was winner of the Jerwood Painting Prize in 1997.  Hume first came to public attention in the seminal Freeze show in 1988, which featured artists such as Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin who, like Hume, were soon to acquire celebrity status as yBas (young British artists). He has since exhibited internationally and in 1996 was the British representative at the São Paulo Biennale and a Turner Prize nominee. In 1999 he represented Britain with a large solo show at the XLVII Venice Biennale.  From 1993 he began to engage with a much wider range of subjects including pop icons Michael Jackson and Kate Moss, images from childhood, such as polar bears, puppy dogs and snowmen and quasi-religious subjects seen in such works as The Cleric and Madonna.  Download interview with Gary Hume
