About Alteronce
Alteronce is an artist and local of New York City. His artistic practice includes painting, ceramics, installation, performance and film.
Alteronce’s work has been exhibited at galleries such as Nicola Vassell Gallery, Hauser & Wirth, Gladstone Gallery and Camden Arts Centre. His work was exhibited in his first museum solo show titled Dark Matter at Allentown Art Museum. In his recent solo exhibition, The Color of Everything at Nicola Vassell, lessons from Monet’s Water Lilies and NASA’s James Webb telescope commingle meaningfully. Through Alteronce’s fluorescent and chromatic spectrum of iridescent color, the artist engages the viewer and expands the notions through which we perceive form and color, the subjectivity of identity and the materiality of earth and cosmic space. Alteronce is currently in production for his first documentary feature, COLOR exploring the many facets to its abundant spectrum experienced around the world.
