Catalogue Note
"Hume's outline describes and isolates forms, or part of forms, rather than bringing them together. He maps the surface, the topography, and colors-in areas just as one would color a map. the solidity of form and mass has been replaced by a topographical perspective, what Hume calls a 'God's eye view'. You feel you could reach out and peel off a painted flower, or an ear, or an eye, and hold it up between finger and thumb, where it would have no more substance and thickness than the layer of paint it is made from." - Adrian Searle (Exh. Cat., Barcelona, Fundació "La Caixa", Gary Hume, 2000, p. 130)
