PLUS GALLERY WELCOMES ARTIST WILLIAM BETTS BACK TO DENVER THIS WEEK!


Plus Gallery continues an unprecedented year of contemporary art exhibitions next week as we are set to open "Remote Sensing," the 3rd solo exhibition by William Betts. The works in the new exhibition continue Betts' ongoing pursuit of the psychological ambiguity inherent in this increasingly invasive and poignant realm, works that have made him one of the most highly regarded and collected new artist on the North American continent.


The exhibition also comes just months after the artist was awarded the Annual Painting Prize from New American Paintings by a distinguished jury consisting of Bill Arning, Director, The Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, James Rondeau, Curator and Chair of Contemporary Art, Art Institute of Chicago, and Peter Boswell, Senior Curator, Miami Art Museum. William Betts' career continues to excel as one of the most prestigious by an emerging artist from the US in the last decade, with numerous awards for his work, inclusion in many thoughtfully curated group exhibitions including the upcoming "Tracing the Grid" presented at the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart in Germany. His work speaks for itself, his practice is the most singular and successful merger of painting and technology in the world today.


Betts is featured with a terrific profile in the new issue of Modern In Denver, which is now online and can be found at



A work from Betts' surveillance painting series is featured on the invite for his first European museum show in Stuttgart opening next month, William's most important group exhibition to date and one that puts him in the mix with some of the most renowned contemporary artists of our times.
William will be speaking about his art and career next wednesday evening on the untitledartshow.com, tune in April 18th or listen in to the podcast afterwards.  And please join us for the VIP hour with William from 5-6pm the night of his opening, which is open to the general public from 6-8pm.
