The Return of Bill Amundson!



Join Plus Gallery this Friday evening, October 28th for one of the most anticipated exhibitions of the year:  Bill Amundson's "Blurred Vision."   The reception will be held from 6-9pm, we'll have a keg of Great Divide "Hades" on hand to welcome Bill back to Denver and help everyone contend with Bill's new works.  Amundson is known for his highly detailed pencil drawings that take on all manner of subjects from our daily and not-so daily lives: in the case of this exhibition that constitutes figures such as Sarah Palin, Eric Cantor, and Chase's own Jamie Diamond (the 4th in Bill's American Dickheads series), topics such as cell-phones and monster-truck rallies, a succinct tour of Wisconsin, all manner of discount stores, the year 1975 and plenty more.   It's an amazing array that one can get lost in and enjoy for hours.

Susan Froyd gives Bill big props for the opening and his artist talk in this week's westword, her opening paragraph shows deep respect and knowledge of this legendary figure:


David Huntress also provides an early report in his downtown "By the Slice"


And if you want more insite, you can visit the website or read the press release at the end of our enews.  Not all of Bill's images are online yet, but there's enough to tantalize for sure!
