Gary Hume’s studio features a swan motif inspired by his dreams, reflecting his exploration of the subconscious alongside conscious creativity, culminating in the exhibition "Mirrors and Other Creatures."
Hume describes his studio as feeling more like an aviary than an artistic workspace, with swans dominating the visual landscape and enhancing his artistic dialogue with the subconscious.
Hume's approach to creativity is deeply intertwined with dreams; he welcomes subconscious influences, stating, 'I treat it as a bonus to my conscious life,' rather than a separate entity.
The theme of mirrors played a crucial role in Hume's latest works, which was sparked by a personal moment when he reflected on his identity as a new grandfather.
