Charles Moffett is pleased to announce a dual-site exhibition from mixed media artist Alteronce Gumby (b. 1985, Pennsylvania; MFA Yale, 2016). The show employs scale variance in new ways while pushing Gumby’s longtime thematic considerations of how light, physics, natural energies, and color can be contextualized into a larger societal conversation about race, as well as social considerations pertaining to the spiritual practices native to the locations from which he sources the gemstones featured across his oeuvre. Also explored is the artist’s present-day elucidation of midcentury geometric abstraction; Gumby appropriates the movement’s formal qualities while imbuing the work with themes and influences diametric to the reductive nature and prescribed forms of the midcentury canon.
