Pace Prints presents Rainbow Dreams by Alteronce Gumby, a series of seven unique paper works for ADAA Fair 2026, November 12–16 at the Park Avenue Armory, Booth B3. In his new series of pulp paintings on handmade paper, Gumby reimagines the kaleidoscopic rainbow by way of intuition, memory, and experimentation. Through gestural bands of color flecked with quartz and topaz shards, Gumby’s dense material surfaces become a meeting place—an intersection of hue and refracted light, a prismatic exploration of color as both a physical phenomenon and a gateway to speculative worlds beyond.

Referencing artists like Alma Thomas, Sam Gilliam, and Mary Heilmann, Gumby abstracts his color work outside the realm of earthly cognition. For Gumby, the rainbow is a point of departure rather than a destination, positing the question: What might a rainbow look like beneath another atmosphere or on an exoplanet orbiting a distant star?

For ADAA Fair 2026, we invite our visitors to look closely at these surfaces and ponder the same possibilities, imagining how chromatic light might unfold differently under otherworldly skies.
