De Buck Gallery offers a curated selection of works. From significant retrospectives in London to boundary-pushing exhibitions in Palm Springs, the artists we have long championed continue to redefine the contemporary landscape.
Devan Shimoyama
Institutional Focus: Palm Springs Art Museum A Queer Arcana: Art, Magic, and Spirit | March 28 – October 18, 2026
Devan Shimoyama is currently featured in this major museum presentation exploring how artists utilize magic and esoteric spiritual practices as tools for resistance and world-building. A centerpiece of the exhibition is Shimoyama’s 2024 work, Le Monde, a large-scale painting that reimagines the “World” tarot card. Through his signature use of glitter, rhinestones, and sequins, Shimoyama continues to explore the profound intersections of gender, identity, and mythology.
Keith Haring
Institutional Focus: MOCO Museum London Voice of the Street: Keith Haring’s Subway Drawings | Through June 18, 2026
This immersive installation recreates the gritty atmosphere of the 1980s New York City transit system to showcase thirty rare chalk drawings executed between 1980 and 1985. Representing the foundational “laboratory” of Haring’s career, these works saw the birth of his iconic visual lexicon, including the radiant baby and barking dog. As a collection with a significant focus on original subway drawings, we find this institutional spotlight reinforces the historical importance and continued market appreciation of these once-ephemeral masterpieces.
Mythic Memory and Speculative Architecture
The exhibition continues with a focus on artists who navigate the complexities of cultural and personal history. Gommaar Gilliams presents lyrical compositions and deeply textured surfaces that invite an introspective dialogue on memory and myth. His work serves as a vital and emotive component of the contemporary landscape, grounding the viewer in a timeless, painterly tradition.
Joining this dialogue is Zak Ové, whose monumental 30-foot sculpture, The Mothership Connection (2022), recently anchored major public art activations in the Miami Design District’s Jungle Plaza and New York’s Meatpacking District. This towering “Afrofuturist totem” serves as a speculative rocket ship, physically layering the architectural history of the African diaspora into a singular, powerful form.
