WAYSON R. JONES: The Full Moon Is My Girlfriend is live on hemphillartworks.com, Artsy and Artnet through July 25, 2026.

Wayson R. Jones often found himself outside in his backyard this winter, accompanied by the moon and stars in the evening air. His shadow elongated by the light of the full moon, a celestial companion he searched for each evening; tradition, coming back again and again to the same form in the sky.

Jones visits the same materials in his studio each day. He forms and sculpts Pumice gel until he is content with the final “image.” In the current body of work, the artist creates portraits inspired by images channeled from cultures worldwide – ranging from Native American and West African ritual figures to Luchadores, the masked wrestlers of Mexico. These figures are then combined with creatures, suggesting birds and fish in the titles. His process is intuitive and improvisational...

Throwback to this c. 2022 painting by artist, Tim Doud:

Tim Doud’s paintings and drawings address two seemingly distinct bodies of work, one figurative and one abstract. These bodies of works serve as a backdrop to broader discussions around constructed identities, branding, and commodity culture. He graduated from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago with an M.F.A in Painting and Drawing. He also attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Skowhegan, Maine. Doud has exhibited his work at Curator's Office in Washington, DC, Galerie Brusberg, Berlin, Germany, Art Basel, Basel, Switzerland, MC Magma, Milan, Italy, Priska Juschka Fine Art, NYC, RAYGUN, Toowoomba, South Queensland, Australia, Mono Practice in Baltimore, MD and the New Bedford Museum of Art. His work has also been included in exhibitions at PS1 (MOMA), NYC, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, Artists Space, NYC, the Frye Art Gallery, Seattle, WA, the Tacoma Art Museum, Tacoma, WA, Kemper Contemporary Art Museum, Kansas City, MO, and the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery, Washington, DC. He has received grants from the National Endowment for the Arts (Arts Midwest), the Po***ck Krasner Art Foundation, and the DC Commission for the Arts and Humanities and has participated in residencies at the Banff Centre, Alberta, Canada, the Sharpe/ Walentas Studio Program, NYC and the Golden Foundation, New Berlin, NY. Commissions include the State Department’s Art in Embassies Program, in Niamey, Niger, Africa.

MELVIN L. NESBITT JR.
The Get Together

Wofford College
The Richardson Family Art Museum
June 2 - July 31, 2026

Opening Reception & Gallery Talk
June 15, 2026 | 5:30 pm

HEMPHILL is pleased to share Melvin L. Nesbitt Jr.'s solo exhibition at Wofford College in Spartanburg, SC, The Get Together. The exhibition coincides with the City of Spartanburg's 2026 Juneteenth Celebration Weekend. A reception and artist talk will take place on Monday June 15, 2026 from 5:30 - 6:30 pm.

In this homecoming exhibition, Spartanburg-born artist Melvin L. Nesbitt Jr. employs mixed-media collage to explore the intersections of memory and community. Using collage as both medium and metaphor, Nesbitt assembles disparate elements into cohesive compositions, reflecting the ways individuals from diverse backgrounds come together to form interconnected communities. Through richly layered surfaces of paper and texture, Nesbitt brings forth the complexity of lived experience. His work honors the enduring influence of place, memory, and identity, while recognizing the individual as a culmination of collective histories, relationships, and preceding events.Rooted in his upbringing in Tobe Hartwell, Nesbitt’s imagery pays particular tribute to the resilience of children in low-income neighborhoods, while communicating that all children have value. He captures the sense of wonder and possibility inherent in early childhood—preserving the “magic” of those formative years before the weight of external realities begins to shape and define them. And in highlighting this ‘magic’ which is universal among many, he opens the door of his art to all.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, June 8, 2026
WAYSON R. JONES: The Full Moon Is My Girlfriend
June 15 – July 25, 2026

Washington, DC - HEMPHILL is pleased to announce the virtual exhibition WAYSON R. JONES: The Full Moon Is My Girlfriend, beginning on Monday, June 15, 2026. The virtual exhibition will be viewable on hemphillartworks.com, Artsy & Artnet from June 15 - July 25, 2026.

Wayson R. Jones often found himself outside in his backyard this winter, accompanied by the moon and stars in the evening air. His shadow elongated by the light of the full moon, a celestial companion he searched for each evening; tradition, coming back again and again to the same form in the sky.

Jones visits the same materials in his studio each day. He forms and sculpts Pumice gel until he is content with the final “image.” In the current body of work, the artist creates portraits inspired by images channeled from cultures worldwide – ranging from Native American and West African ritual figures to Luchadores, the masked wrestlers of Mexico. These figures are then combined with creatures, suggesting birds and fish in the titles. His process is intuitive and improvisational. He applies color to the sculpted surfaces, employing new techniques while engaging the history of the Washington Color School artists he is tied to. In the title piece of the exhibition, The Full Moon Is My Girlfriend, Jones explores masking. He sees masks as objects that provide anonymity and power; obscuring the face elevates the wearer to superhero status, able to adjust personality and attributes depending on the situation at hand. Jones creates movement through raised lines, seemingly impossible to achieve with a material as coarse as Pumice, while referencing hard-edge masters like Gene Davis...

Wayson R. Jones achieves the vibrancy the Color School was striving for at the end of the last century. He has taken it one step further, employing new technologies, materials and techniques to push the boundaries of painting, drawing even more attention to surfaces, emphasizing the painting as an object and enhancing color.
