SAVE THE DATE: JENNY MORGAN "KITH AND KIN" OPENS JUNE 1ST AT PLUS GALLERY

NEW MONOGRAPH "WE ARE ALL SETTING SUNS" BEING FINALIZED NOW TO COINCIDE WITH THE OPENING

"We are all setting suns," the second compilation of paintings by artist Jenny Morgan, comes not quite three years after the publication of the initial volume of her works "New Territory," Plus Gallery's fist endeavor to provide an in-depth and chronologic look at an artists work. That book cataloged Morgan's artistic output in it's entirety, from the moment she stepped into the Denver market as a painter in 2003 through her transition to New York City in 2006, where she has continues to live and work. "We are all setting suns" picks up from there, presenting the artist's output in it's entirety since, two and a half years which have shown an artist blossom in the most rare, dynamic and appreciative way.

In addition to extending the comprehensive documentation of Morgan's output as a painter, the new volume includes additions that start to bring Morgan's notoriety and career into greater focus. The increasingly prolific, gifted writer Nancy Hightower contributes the new essay "Invisible Selves: The Uncanny Portraits of Jenny Morgan," providing a thoughtful and up-to-the-minute consideration of the artist's work. The complete interviews with Morgan for her first video profile "Jenny Morgan - Self Portrait" from 2011 are presented here, along with and for the first time select photographs taken by Morgan as source material for her paintings.  These photographs further inform the process she undertakes, transforming the vibe of a personal interaction into an encounter in the studio, into a painting that carries supreme emotional and intellectual gravity..

Plus Gallery will release the new book during the opening of her upcoming exhibition "Kith and Kin" on Friday, June 1st.  Morgan returns to Denver with her first new full body of work since 2009, one that shows her advancing in ways that are both subtle and profound, with the highest level of inspiration that has continually kept the Denver audience rapt for her work.  Save the date to join us in welcoming Jenny back to town.  Anyone wishing to pre-order "We are all setting suns" may contact the gallery anytime before then to reserve a copy at the pre-show discount rate of $100.  Those wishing to preview images of the new paintings may contact ivar@plusgallery.com for an appointment.
