PLUS GALLERY RELEASES NEW HARDCOVER BOOK: COLIN LIVINGSTON - ARTIST

Plus Gallery is extremely pleased to announce the completion of our latest book "Colin Livingston - Artist," an in-depth view of one of the gallery's most revered and compelling artists. The 184 page hardcover book captures Livingston's last three solo exhibitions from between the years 2006 and 2013, ones that have engaged the gallery context in a most extraordinary fashion, presenting conceptual painting-based installations where the underlying message is distinct and multi-layered. Livingston has long been hailed as a pop-based painter, generating some of the most visually stimulating, dense compositions of any artist under the age of 40 in the country. There is much more than meets the eye within his work, a challenge to consumer sensibilities as well as a celebration of today's unique systems which the consumer has mandated. Livingston engages the very notions of art as a commodity, presenting an often tongue-very-in-cheek mentality and aesthetic that is both intellectual, full of hope, and fun.  Everyone who has engaged with Livingston's exhibitions over the years will find this to be the perfect companion to his work, offering extensive documentation of his efforts and text that helps define what it's all about.  The book is available for $120, making it the perfect holiday gift for the art enthusiast.

The book is the fourth in a series of quality monographs produced by Plus Gallery to celebrate the work of prominent artists whose careers began in Denver, Colorado. Others in the series include the first two comprehensive publications on  Jenny Morgan "New Territory" and "We Are All Setting Suns,"  as well as "Xi Zhang - Dream Dust," all of which are available through Blurb.com
