FLOR A FAUNA AND P ORTR AITURE The Art of Georgie Hopton and Gary Hume – Katharine Stout

James Lovelock’s Gaia theory sets out the hypothesis that the entire Earth and all that inhabits it is a single living organism, arguing the planet cannot survive without the complex life systems which depend on it, and vice versa. He illustrates this with a simple computer simulation called Daisyworld, writing, ‘A main sequence Star like our Sun gradually heats the planet Daisyworld until it is just warm enough for a species of black daisies to colonise the entire surface. Black daisies absorb heat, so they thrive in these large temperatures. But there are mutant white daisies which reflect heat and, as the temperature rises even further, these begin to flourish. So Daisyworld is cooled by white daisies and warmed by black ones. A simple flower is able to regulate and stabilize the environment on a planetary scale. Moreover, this stabilization emerges from a strictly Darwinian process.’1 First developed in the 1960s, this theory sets out the concept and a fundamental recognition – only now seeping into the mainstream and political consciousness – that the Earth, nature and humanity are not only symbiotically dependent on each other, but are in fact part of one organic, complex ecosystem.

Georgie Hopton and Gary Hume share a life that in recent years has been regulated by seasonal migration determined by growing cycles. They move between their farm in rural Upstate New York for the Spring planting season, returning for the ‘Fall’ harvest and then back to London for the rest of the year, their chosen home-town since studying here in the late 6

1980s. At that time, they became part of a generation of artists whose energy and innovation drew the international art world’s attention to London during the post-Thatcher period, when anything seemed possible, now increasingly distant as another century, another era. Working independently, with different career trajectories, styles and techniques, they have in common a belief that everything is connected, in particular treating ‘flora, fauna and portraiture’ as artistic themes that are fluidly aligned.

On a more quotidian level, in different ways their work visualises Lovelock’s theory that diverse forms of life are co-dependent and generative.

Hopton describes how, ‘A jug or an arrangement of objects or flowers can elicit such empathy in me. It is as though I am faced with a portrait of a person, a group or a family perhaps.’2 Similarly Hume has said of his flower paintings, ‘They’re not supposed to be allegories for anything.

They’re just like you sat there, as far as I’m concerned.’3 Another aspect they have in common is their commitment to a studio practice. Instead of the romantic view that nature must be studied in the wild, they each start from an awareness that the natural environment is, more often than not, cultivated and they take it in any form. Using flowers or vegetables, photographs or illustrations, they each create works inspired by nature, but ‘cultivated’ in the studio. Preferring to be intrigued by the attempt at picture or object making, they share an ambivalence towards an obligation to offer a literal representation.

It is notable that Hopton’s prolific output as an artist over the last decade coincides with her establishing a vegetable garden in upstate New York, an area whose abundant agriculture made the land so covetable to colonisers from the sixteenth century onwards. The productive relationship between her discovered ability to nurture life out of dirt and water and a renewed drive to experiment in the studio can be seen in playful monoprints such as Medium Size Veg Print (i), 2008, A Wet Season’s Veg Print (vii), 2011, or Levity, 2019. Like one of Hopton’s literary heroes, Emily Dickinson, whose poetry was consistently inspired by her gardening life, the artist’s engagement with nature allows her to explore wider, universal cycles of discovery and loss, life and death, presence and absence.

Hopton perceives and adopts the poet’s phrase ‘Shouting Flower’ to describe all of these inevitabilities and comments, ‘I understand the world we live in, but it’s not the world I want. I want a sense of humanity. The grandiose in the small, that’s what I’m after…’4 Recognising a symbiosis between herself and her harvest, Hopton began to place both it 8

and herself in the photographic frame, as seen in works such as Cinderella Pumpkin, 2007, The Juggler, 2008 or The Long Gourd, 2009. Juxtaposing body parts with voluptuous, anthropomorphic vegetable shapes, Hopton performs the classic nude, whilst drawing attention to the short-lived but unarguable sensuality of flesh, whether vegetable or human.

More recently, in works such as Dreamcatcher (ii), 2018 or the Verse series, 2018, Hopton has stripped back her work to line only. Made using wool, sticks, beans or feathers, these pieces increasingly make use of natural materials. By paring back the image, she is capturing the experience of ‘drawings in space’ – linear shapes made by branches, stems or stalks – happened upon when walking through the woods and meadows of her upstate farm. These works extend her ongoing commitment to collage, made using materials she creates, collects and hoards, finding joy in the decorative and the overlooked.

Hume has flirted with the decorative ever since he chose a palette of sickly sweet colours selected from a household range of gloss paint for a number of his hospital door paintings, a subject that offered both a form of geometric abstraction and as a poignant symbol of the austerity measures faced by NHS during the 1980s. He commented, ‘Decorative arts were treated with disdain in contemporary art at the time. But I was interested in the embarrassment, working with it. It seemed that without embarrassment I wouldn’t move forward.’5 Hume deployed the same idiosyncratic palette as he widened his subject matter to include ‘fauna, flora and portraiture’, whilst introducing darker, more melancholy colours to signal the complexities of tackling more personal subjects.

Flowers have been a recurring motif for Hume, both as a way to bring together elegant, intriguing forms with opulent colours for maximal visual pleasure, and as symbolic of the vulnerabilities of everyday life. In his portfolio of eight linocuts Here’s Flowers, 2006, each depicts an isolated flower, or a close-up fragment of a petal, stem or leaves, set against a flat plane of colour that further delineates the flower’s intricate pattern and sumptuous colour. The Sister Troop, 2009 offers a similar treatment, in this case his chosen subject being the all-American cheerleader, reduced to flattened shapes, body parts and contrasting blocks of colour. A disembodied body part topped with a floral-like pom-pom accessory, silhouetted against the dark background merges the flower and the young gymnastic body into one motif. A more recent series of pastel works on paper, Flora, 9

2016, introduces an atypical expressionist style of depicting a variety of blooms, in which the floral subject blurs with the colourful, gestural background, so that the overriding impression is an explosion of colour.

Two studies in charcoal and pastel on paper, part of a wider series of paintings, Destroyed School, 2018 deploy a floral motif to focus attention on the destruction of war, offering an alternative to the mind-numbing images of seemingly relentless death and trauma caused by conflict in the Middle East. Looking through a newspaper, Hume describes how, “I see this hideous photograph of a school that’s being bombed or mortared or shelled, and there’s holes and shit everywhere, and broken equipment, and dust on everything. There’s books, and either a body or bodies, or pools of congealed blood. And I take out all of that and I just focus in on the little bit that I can see that was made with hope. Maybe it’s just me, but I’ve become so exhausted. How do we feel anymore? ...what struck an unbearable empathetic chord was seeing these fragments of hope and dreams and a sensation of safety.”6 Like so many of us, desensitised to the daily depictions of the horrors of war, Hume depicts something as innocent as a primary school’s mural – all that is left of a once lively classroom – in order to compel himself and the viewer to feel empathy once again with the suffering of ordinary people.

It is unusual for Hopton and Hume to exhibit together, as for years they have kept their personal and professional lives quite separate. This exhibition reveals that whilst they each have very individual aesthetics and styles, they share an approach rooted in an overarching love of material and the keen observation of sensation brought about by their mutual appreciation and wonder for the common-or-garden world and its inhabitants, both human and organic.

Katharine Stout curated Tate Britain’s survey of Gary Hume in 2013, and has published catalogue essays on Georgie Hopton’s work. Currently Director of Focal Point Gallery in Southend-on-Sea, she was previously Deputy Director of the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London.
