Autumn Wallace (b. 1996, Philadelphia, PA) is a visual artist who works across media to create paintings and sculptures that examine human sexuality, gender, and the black femme experience. Influenced by early 90’s cartoons, Byzantine aesthetics, Baroque Style, and what Wallace describes as “low-quality adult materials”, Wallace’s work generates a sense of fluidity whereby figures defy spatial, social, physical, emotional, and psychological boundaries.
Wallace is a graduate of the Tyler School of Art at Temple University and lives and works in Philadelphia, PA. Wallace’s work has been featured in solo exhibitions and presentations at The Armory Show, Gaa, New York, NY; Gaa, Cologne, Germany; Gaa, Provincetown, MA; the Fine Arts Work Center, Provincetown, MA; Portside Art Parlor, Philadelphia, PA; HOUSE Gallery, Philadelphia, PA; and Stella Elkins Gallery, Philadelphia, PA. Wallace’s work has also been featured in group exhibitions at Blum and Poe, Los Angeles, CA; Clearing, Brooklyn, NY; Gaa, Provincetown, MA; Gallery Vacancy, Shanghai; Margot Samel, New York, NY; and the Provincetown Art Association and Museum (PAAM), Provincetown, MA, among others. Wallace is the recipient of numerous fellowships, including residencies at the Fine Arts Work Center, Provincetown, MA; Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MASS MoCA), North Adams, MA; the Vermont Studio Center, Johnson, VT; and Yaddo, Saratoga Springs, NY. In 2021, Wallace’s work was acquired by the Studio Museum in Harlem. In 2024, Wallace’s work will be featured in a solo exhibition at Josh Lilley, London.
