Rounding up the most fascinating solo gallery shows in America each month, Galerie journeyed from New York, where Rachel Uffner is presenting Anne Buckwalter’s intimate paintings and drawings of Pennsylvania Dutch style interiors oddly peppered with nudes and sex toys, to Los Angeles, where Derrick Adams is making his Gagosian debut with colorful large-scale canvases capturing Black people sharing communal experiences and celebrating moments of rest and play. These are the not-to-be-missed shows in October.
1. Anne Buckwalter at Rachel Uffner, New York
Inspired by folk art traditions of the Pennsylvania Dutch country, where she spent her childhood, Anne Buckwalter makes similar flattened depictions of domestic interiors and pointed arrangements of personal objects in her realistic paintings and works on paper. Mixing hex signs, quilt patterns and homegrown crafts with nudes reflected in mirrors and captured on artworks displayed on the walls or seen on a screen, Buckwalter adds an erotic edge to her otherwise decorative environments.
