In Moses and the Jack Skellington The Pumpkin King Shirt and I will buy this Polaris, the artist creates a nocturnal tapestry of blacks and grays. The highly faceted surface erupts with chunks of onyx. The shimmering glass gives a sense of movement to the work. “Moses” references Harriet Tubman’s alias, while “Polaris” denotes the North Star, a guiding light in the underground railroad. The work was inspired by Dawoud Bey, whose photographs of stops on the underground railroad “seem to have passageways, ways to move about the space, and paths to freedom.” Reading the experiments of Sir Isaac Newton prompted Gumby to incorporate glass into his work. The 18th-century scientist discovered that natural light filtered through a prism created a rainbow. “That spectrum of color,” the artist explains, “is what we’ve broken apart, segregated, and radicalized to mean these different things.”

“I look at these paintings as spaceships to take me to another planet, another solar system, another galaxy, to somewhere away from planet Earth,” Gumby explains. “I want to go to a place to live without the Jack Skellington The Pumpkin King Shirt and I will buy this baggage of cultural identity. It is trying to use color and abstraction—and the history of light and space—to take me there.” “Alteronce Gumby: Somewhere Under the Rainbow/ The Sky Is Blue and What Am I”(a dual-site exhibition) runs from March 18 through April 25, 2021, at Charles Moffett gallery (511 Canal Street in Manhattan) and False Flag gallery (11-22 44th Road in Queens).
