Lyndsey Ingram is delighted to present Gary Hume: A Selection of Prints 1994 – 2022; a comprehensive survey of graphic work spanning Hume’s career. This is the first exhibition devoted to the artist’s work at the gallery and is timed to coincide with the 25th anniversary of Hume representing Britain at the 1999 Venice Biennale. The show at Lyndsey Ingram will run concurrently with exhibitions at Sprüth Magers and Hazlitt Holland-Hibbert in London, who will be devoting their galleries to both Hume’s new and historical work respectively.
Hume began making prints in the mid-1990s and, alongside his painting and sculpture practice, is an accomplished printmaker. Common themes within his oeuvre are all on display in this selection, from semi-figurative and abstract portraits, to still-lifes, flora and fauna. Highly ambitious in terms of scale and technique, many of these works bear a strong resemblance to Hume’s paintings. Whilst often sharing the tension, striking surface texture and subject matter of his wider practice, Hume’sprintmaking has a distinct character that is unique to the chosen media of which he is a master: screenprinting, linocut, woodcut and blockprinting.
