SPOTLIGHT: Annan Affotey

De Buck Gallery is thrilled to share a presentation of new paintings by Oxford-based and Ghanaian born artist Annan Affotey. Affotey navigates Black identity through portraiture. His paintings feature women and men with vibrant dark skin and his signature soul-filled, red eyes. He surrounds his figures in negative space allowing the subjects to tell their own story. Affotey’s paintings highlight the nuances of facial expressions and examine a story that goes beyond surface level. Visit the Online Viewing Room at the link in our bio.

‘Caution to the Wind' by Devan Shimoyama is part

‘Caution to the Wind' by Devan Shimoyama is part of his new body of work, currently in progress, and depicts imagery of DIAMOND, an imagined all-female band. The work celebrates the kinship between queer male youth and the archetype of the powerhouse female diva, drawn from Shimoyama’s own connection to pop, hip hop, and R&B music of the 1990s. The work is both imaginative and deeply self-reflective. In Shimoyama's own words the DIAMOND series is "a return to my childhood," linking the sounds of his past to both his personal identity and contemporary art practice.

Tahnee Lonsdale’s paintings represent the newest direction in semi-abstract painting. Whimsical figures, architecture, and other objects populate vibrant fields of color. At once both detailed and dreamy, Lonsdale’s work leaves just enough to the imagination.⁠
⁠
When asked about her relationship with color, Lonsdale explained, "I have a very strong relationship with color. It feels very intuitive but at the same time totally mystifying. It can make or break a painting, and will trouble me for days. It helps me to study the palettes of artists who I admire as I find the reason for the admiration is often the colours. De Kooning, Bacon, Diebenkorn, they all have incredible palettes." The full De Buck Gallery interview with Lonsdale is available to read at the link in our bio.⁠

DEVAN SHIMOYAMA will be De Buck Gallery's first Ar

DEVAN SHIMOYAMA will be De Buck Gallery's first Artist in Residence at Saint-Paul de Vence, France! Shimoyama will begin his residency in June and will be working on a new body of works created entirely in France. ⁠
⁠
In 2017 De Buck Gallery began organizing exhibitions at the Saint-Paul de Vence location, including the exhibition “Opulent Landscapes” which included works by Jeffrey Gibson, Robert Lazzarini, among others. In 2021, De Buck Gallery relaunched this location as an exhibition space and Artist-in-Residence program, inviting artists to live and create new works at a private studio. The private program extends artists the opportunity to exhibit work in Europe and is committed to fostering relationships with the local community, continuing Saint-Paul De Vence’s legacy as an international artist hub and home to La Maison James Baldwin.⁠

Our SPOTLIGHT presentation of new and recent texti

Our SPOTLIGHT presentation of new and recent textiles by Ardeshir Tabrizi is on view through May 17th on the De Buck Gallery website, link in bio.

The Spotlight Online Viewing Room features four of Tabrizi’s newest embroidery works, created almost entirely by hand, much like the process of Persian Suzandozi (needlework). The process of these works merged modern digital tools with culturally traditional techniques, ultimately creating intricate and layered compositions that reference ancient icons, artifacts, miniatures, and personal and familial imagery. The works examine the artist’s personal identity, as well as the interconnectedness of a larger global history.

“History has fascinated me since I was a child,” Tabrizi says, “It is something personal, yet shared, and like a compass, it provides context. It has helped me place myself amongst generations of people and events that have occurred prior to my existence and through its lens, I can better recognize who I am.”
