Alteronce Gumby is an abstract artist working across multiple mediums and disciplines. In Gumby's process, he utilizes landscape as it relates to space and everyday life. Alteronce Gumby’s large-scale, abstract paintings revel in light and color, their luminosity enhanced by pieces of tempered glass and gemstone applied to their surfaces in intricate patterns.

Gumby’s canvases are typically square-shaped or made from conjoined rectangles, with colors and depths that shift depending on one’s viewing angle. An MFA graduate of the Yale School of Art, Gumby has had solo shows at False Flag and Charles Moffett Gallery. Color is a preoccupation for most painters.
