On Saturday, February 18, at 15:00 the PinchukArtCentre will host Saturday Talk dedicated to the works by British artist Gary Hume. The discussion will be conducted within the framework of Hume’s solo exhibition entitled Beauty, featuring 60 pictures and sculpture.
The show offers a complex view of Gary Hume as an artist caught up in the tension between beauty and concept. The show combines some essential older works with recent work groups such as Rainbow, Anxiety and the Horse and several newly created paintings and sculptures such as the series Bikini, never shown in public before, as well as other drawings and paintings.
The discussion will be led by artist Alevtyna Kakhidze and participant of the PinchukArtCentre’s Curatorial Platform Maria Lanko.
The event will take place at 15:00 on the 4th floor of the PinchukArtCentre, next to the work Between the Horns of a Dilemma (the room on the left hand side from the elevator).
