Best Debut Solo Exhibition

Opening a solo show at an art gallery is like releasing a new album or a new novel. It’s the public presentation of a completed body of work backed by all the resources — curating, installation, marketing, sales — that a gallery can offer. And just like debut albums and novels, debut solo exhibitions can have a big impact on scenes and markets when it comes to establishing a sustainable creative career. David Onri Anderson’s Fresh as Fruit gave gallerygoers a cornucopia of deceptively complex metaphors to digest last fall. And he also planted the seeds of what looks like a bountiful creative practice that’s just beginning to blossom. JOE NOLAN
