Plus Gallery artist Allie Pohl is quickly becoming recognized on a wide level for her compelling concept centered around the theme of the "Ideal Woman." She has bridged across platforms that involve both high-art, retail and even environmental installation, the latest of which has now come to Plus Gallery, along with a selection of her scintillating ceramic works. Pohl's "Ideal Woman: Fence" is another limited edition item with extreme versatility. The components of the fence can be combined into expansive areas, or as we will have them displayed on occasion outside of Plus Gallery, in their singular modules to contain an object or area. Stop by to see them for Denver Arts Week, along with the rest of her expansive collection including a wide selection of her popular women's necklaces.
Pohl's significant press profile is growing along with the stature of the institutions who have caught onto her talent, including the Orlando Museum of Art in Florida which will feature Pohl alongside some of the greatest contemporary artists of all time in the upcoming exhibition "XX/XY: Gender Representation in Art." A profile in the most recent issue of the Orlando Arts Magazine had this to say about Pohl:
"Born and raised in Winter Park, where her family still lives, Pohl considers the Orlando area home though she currently resides in Colorado, where she recently earned a Master of Fine Arts at the University of Denver. She will be in good company in XX/XY - the 60 pieces will include work by Andy Warhol, Robert Mapplethorpe and Georgia O'Keefe. Not bad for an artist who's only 26." - Terry Godbey, November/December, 2010
