MIKE WHITING IN THE PRESS AND DEBUTING THIS WEEK IN LA

Plus Gallery is currently featuring terrific new work by sculptor Mike Whiting in the exhibition "Primitives," on view through November 27th.  Whiting's trajectory with the gallery has been an inspiration, touting one of the most fascinating developments for an emerging artist that we've come across.  The fact that he's been exclusive to Plus Gallery is due in large part to the overall demand for his work as well as his success in the Public realm, something that has been noted in this week's edition of the Westword Weekly along with a writeup on his current exhibition here.

There's also a nice writeup on the exhibition from Telluride Inside, the premier blog for art, culture and lifestyle in Telluride and beyond, written by Plus Gallery friend and fan Susan Viebrock.  You can read what she has to say about her recent visit to Denver at.

While the Denver market has been able to marvel at him from up close since he debuted here in 2004, others have only been able to look from afar.  That is about to change as Mike launches onto the LA scene this week in conjunction with the prestigious gallery Edward Cella Art and Architecture and their project space Cabana Home at 111 Santa Barbara Street.  We've always thought Mike's work spoke to a much greater collector market and are quite certain the LA vibe is a good place for him to further develop a fan and collector base.  His exhibition runs from November 15th through January 9th, if you happen to be in that vicinity we highly recommend checking it out.

In the meantime, come see his new works here at Plus.  We'll be closed on Thanksgiving as well as Friday the 26th, otherwise open regular hours.
