Jacqueline Humphries (born November 17, 1960, in New Orleans) is a renowned American abstract painter married to Tony Oursler.[1] She is known for her 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 has incorporated emoticons, emoji, kaomoji, and CAPTCHA tests into recent works that draw on digital communication.[2] 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.[3] Humphries lives and works in New York City, where she is represented by Greene Naftali Gallery.[4]

Jacqueline Humphries, Untitled 1989 Oil on Panel 24 x 24 inches

Humphries' work has been included in major exhibitions in the United States and internationally, including the Venice Biennale (2022) and the Whitney Biennial (2014).[5][6] She was the subject of a major one-person survey exhibition at the Wexner Center for the Arts, Columbus, Ohio, in 2021. Her Black Light paintings were shown in a solo exhibition at Dia Bridgehampton, New York in 2019, a body of work which she had previously exhibited at NYEHAUS in 2005. John Kelsey described this exhibition in Artforum as "the most memorable painting show in New York".[7][8][9] 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).[10][11] 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.[3][12][13][14][15]

Early life and education

edit

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, she co-curated an exhibition with fellow board member Wade Guyton to celebrate The Kitchen's fifty-year anniversary. The exhibition featured fifty artists including Joan Jonas, Ralph Lemon, and Laurie Anderson.[19] Previously, Humphries served as a board member at Participant Inc., an educational corporation and not-for-profit alternative art space founded in 2001.[20]
