Y(Our) Mixed Perceptions | Jess Humphrey

The Evelyn Peeler Peacock Gallery at The ARTS Council of the Southern Finger Lakes is pleased to announce Y(our) Mixed Perceptions, a solo show featuring the works of Jess Humphrey, presented by Johnson-Schmidt & Associates Architects. On display from May 20 - June 21, 2024 at 79 W Market St, Corning NY, a reception will be held Friday, June 7, 5-7pm with an artist talk at 6pm.

Jess Humphrey is a multi-disciplinary artist whose work spans glass, collage, photography, and fashion design. After spending two decades leading design in New York City’s fashion industry, Humphrey shifted her focus to making contemporary art full-time in 2019. Her work draws inspiration from minimalist color field painters Ellsworth Kelly and Josef Albers, Bauhaus artists Sophie Taeuber-Arp and Gunta Stölzl, and surrealist painter Rene Magritte. On a conscious level, she focuses on color and form to create harmony and balance, capturing alternate realities and lucid dream states. Subconsciously, recurring themes appear in her work, such as conflicting feelings of wanting to be seen and wanting to be invisible, and masking strength in exchange for love and acceptance.
