American artist
Jacqueline Humphries (born November 17, 1960, in
New Orleans) is an American abstract painter married to
Tony Oursler.
[1] 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.
[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]
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).
[5]
[6] 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".
[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.

Early life and education
Humphries graduated from
Parsons School of Design in 1985, receiving a BFA in Fine Arts.
[17] She attended the Independent Study Program at the
Whitney Museum of American Art from 1985 to 1986.
[18]
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.
[19] 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.
[20] Humphries previously served as a board member at Participant Inc., an educational corporation and not-for-profit alternative art space founded in 2001.
