Jacqueline Humphries (born November 17, 1960, in New Orleans) is an American abstract painter. She is known for large-scale paintings that reference the history of abstraction, combining traditional painterly techniques with contemporary technologies. She has used metallic silver pigment to suggest the glow of a cinema screen, and incorporated emoticons, emoji, kaomoji, and CAPTCHA tests into recent works that draw on digital communication.[1] Other paintings are produced by scanning her earlier canvases, translating them into ASCII character code, and using custom laser-cut stencils of the resulting images as the basis for new paintings.[2] Humphries lives and works in New York City, where she is represented by Greene Naftali Gallery.[3]
Humphries's work has been included in major exhibitions in the United States and internationally, including the Venice Biennale (2022) and the Whitney Biennial (2014).[4][5] She was the subject of a major one-person survey exhibition at the Wexner Center for the Arts, Columbus, Ohio, in 2021. A solo exhibition of Humphries's Black Light paintings took place at Dia Bridgehampton, New York in 2019, a body of work which the artist had previously shown at NYEHAUS in 2005, which John Kelsey described in Artforum as "the most memorable painting show in New York".[6][7][8] Humphries's first comprehensive solo presentation at a United States museum took place at the Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh in 2015, and later travelled to the Contemporary Arts Center (New Orleans).[9][10] Her work is in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Art Institute of Chicago; and Tate Modern, London.[11][12][13][14][15]
Early life and education
Humphries graduated from Parsons School of Design in 1985, receiving a BFA in Fine Arts.[16] She attended the Independent Study Program at the Whitney Museum of American Art from 1985 to 1986.[17]
Philanthropy
Humphries serves as the Vice Chairperson of the board of directors at The Kitchen (art institution), one of New York City's oldest nonprofit alternative art centers.[18] In 2020, Humphries curated an exhibition with fellow board member Wade Guyton in celebration of The Kitchen's fifty-year anniversary, which included fifty artists such as Joan Jonas, Ralph Lemon, and Laurie Anderson.[19] Humphries previously served as a board member at Participant Inc., an educational corporation and not-for-profit alternative art space founded in 2001.[20]
