« J’ai découvert que l’email me convenait parfaitement, et que ses qualités m’intriguent toujours. C’est visqueux et fluide et donne l’impression d’une piscine. C’est très réflecteur, ce qui veut dire qu’il y a des différentes strates de regard. On regarde la peinture, on regarde la surface, puis on regarde le reflet de la surface derrière vous, puis on se regarde soi-même. » Gary Hume interviewé par Dominic Murphy, 'Little Promises', The Guardian, 2002
"I found that gloss paint suited me entirely, and its qualities still intrigue me. It's viscous and fluid and feels like a pool. It's highly reflective, which means there are layers of looking. You look at the picture, and you look at the surface, then you look at the reflection in the surface behind you, then you look at yourself."
