‘COLOR’ documentary by John Campbell premieres on Tubi Dec. 11
The documentary COLOR directed by John Campbell is scheduled to premiere on Tubi on December 11. It follows visual artist Alteronce Gumby on his journey to discover what color means to him and how it has shaped his creative expression. The film travels to global celebrations and events that place color at center stage, showing how the artist treats color simultaneously as physical substance, symbolic device and element of cultural communication within his abstract paintings.
Gumby maintains a New York studio practice that centers color as material, metaphor and cultural language. His works belong to the permanent collections of the National Gallery of Art, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Hirshhorn, LACMA, The Studio Museum in Harlem and Pérez Art Museum Miami. Solo exhibitions include Prince of the Far Rainbow at Nicola Vassell Gallery in 2024, The Color of Everything at the same gallery in 2022 and Walk on the Moon at Jeffrey Deitch in 2025. He received the 2026 Hopper Prize and a 2025 Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant after earning an MFA from the Yale School of Art. From October 21 to 26 he presents eight paintings and three sculptures at Art Basel Paris Booth A48 in a joint presentation by Michael Rosenfeld Gallery and Jeffrey Deitch.
