Alteronce Gumby is a New York City-based artist whose practice spans painting, ceramics, installation, and film. Inspired by a transformative visit to a Picasso museum in Barcelona, he pursued formal art education at Dutchess Community College, Hunter College (BFA), and the Yale School of Art (MFA in Painting and Printmaking). His work draws from the cosmos and the materiality of earthly and cosmic space, engaging viewers with luminous, iridescent colors that challenge perceptions of form, color, and identity. Gumby’s work has been exhibited at leading galleries such as Nicola Vassell Gallery, Hauser & Wirth, and Gagosian, as well as featured in publications such as ARTnews, Cultured, Frieze, Artnet, and Vogue. His work has been placed in the collections of the Guggenheim, Studio Museum of Art, National Gallery of Art, and the Hirschorn. Gumby has participated in prestigious residencies, such as the Rauschenberg Residency and les Fondation des Étas-Unis in Paris. His recent award-winning documentary, COLOR, explores the global spectrum of color, and he is currently in production on its follow-up, COLOR in Nature. He also looks forward to his forthcoming solo exhibition, Walk on the Moon, opening at Jeffrey Deitch Gallery in November 2025.
