Inspired by the Lou Reed song 'Vicious' Hume was especially intrigued by the opening lyric 'you hit me with a flower'. He overlaid a dark silhouette, derived from an athletic statue of Mussolini, on a background of vibrant flowers, creating an attractive and decorative image from the idea of violent beauty.
Gary Hume combines a passion for painting and a mastery of colour with a hard, cool touch. Starting with found images of familiar subjects - Kate Moss, a blackbird, some flowers - Hume transforms them into bold, semi-figurative abstractions. Though striking and easily seductive, Hume's work retains an uneasy tension, with his decorative vision offset by the desire to show an awkward, edgy kind of beauty.
