OPENING RECEPTION THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8TH FROM 6-9PM
Plus Gallery welcomes Denver artist Frank T. Martinez back with his fourth solo exhibition "Out / Line" from December 8th, 2011 through January 21st, 2012. Since debuting with the gallery in 2004, Martinez has become one of the most appreciated and acclaimed abstract painters in the region. Martinez works in series, each an extension but quite different from the last, exploring a particular concept in depth and to its conclusion. His paintings generally combine multiple layers of paint applied through different techniques, the end result typically loaded with symbolic content that is thoughtful and visually captivating. "Out / Line" might be his most dense and fascinating body of work yet, the new series exerting intricate line-play that hints at subtleties beneath the surface as well as bold flashes bursting through that create a gorgeous, compelling surface texture. The new collection is an extremely rich exploration into pattern, architecture, color, and density, all seeming to combine with a poetic tension that stimulates the visual senses. The exhibition is presented in conjunction with the grand opening of the Clyfford Still Museum as an extension of hallmark ideas and the continuation of abstraction as a formidable practice in painting today. Join Plus Gallery in welcoming Frank T. Martinez back to the gallery with an opening reception and holiday party on Thursday, December 8th from 6-9pm.
On Wednesday, January 18th at 7pm Plus Gallery will host "New Abstraction Today: Four Essential Plus Gallery Artists." This forum brings together four of the gallery's represented artists who have consistently upheld new methods of abstraction within the Denver community and beyond. Frank T. Martinez, Kate Petley, Bruce Price and Dave Yust will discuss their place and what abstraction means in the contemporary milieu. Presented in conjunction with the community celebration of the opening of the Clyfford Still Museum. Reservation required, please RSVP to ivar@plusgallery.com
