KAREN McCLANAHAN - "STACKS" NOW ON VIEW AT PLUS GALLERY

Plus Gallery launched the fall season in style last Friday with the opening of Karen McClanahan's latest solo exhibition "Stacks."   It's been over three years since Karen last took center stage at the gallery, her first last appearance coinciding with the grand opening of our space at 25th and Larimer.  McClanahan had as much experience with our exhibition space as we did at that time, namely none!  The results were still fantastic, acclaim coming in heavy doses from the critical community for the gallery as well as Karen's efforts.  With "Stacks" Karen has managed to put together an exhibition that is in solid contrast to that previous effort, working on a more intimate scale while continuing push a vein that brings combinations of ideas together conceptually as diptychs, triptychs and larger groupings, such as the extraordinary centerpiece "Sequential Chroma Loop 9."   Throw in a trio of superb thread-drawings on custom-built aluminum stands, a couple of limited edition "book" packages, and an awe-inspiring usage of color throughout, and you have one of the most sophisticated and luminous experiences yet in the history of our space at 25th and Larimer.

Visit our website now to view images of karen's work, an experience, however, not even remotely as rich as viewing them in person:
