Buffalo Arts Studio is proud to present David Buck: “Recollect,” the first-ever retrospective exhibition of Western New York-based painter David Buck. The exhibition will be on view from June 27 through August 8, 2025, with an opening reception on Friday, June 27 from 5 to 8 p.m. as part of M&T Bank’s Fourth Friday at Buffalo Arts Studio series. The event is free and open to the public.

“Recollect” brings together more than 60 oil paintings created over the past two decades, offering an intimate view into Buck’s lifelong exploration of memory, identity, and family history. The exhibition includes works from private collections—many of which have never before been exhibited—along with two new large-scale paintings created specifically for this show.

Buck’s expressive, layered style transforms vintage family photographs into emotive compositions that reflect the complexities of memory and time. Using a wide range of brushstrokes, he “captures the emotion of fleeting moments,” drawing viewers into personal yet universally resonant scenes.
