JOIN US NEXT THURSDAY FOR THE OPENING OF "BONE" BY XI ZHANG


"The dark nights gave me my dark eyes; I, however, use them to look for light." - Gu Cheng (Chinese Modernist Poet, 1956 - 1993)

Plus Gallery announces the return of the fascinating and beloved artist Xi Zhang for BONE, his second official solo exhibition at the gallery. BONE connects six of Xi Zhang's ongoing bodies of work, ones that reflect on hyperrealism, nihilism and existentialism, the undertones for his current practice. Born in 1984 in Kaifeng, China, Xi Zhang has become one of the most celebrated artists to emerge in Colorado, where he began sharing his paintings in 2004. This exhibition is his first solo effort since last year's elaborate undertaking "21st Century DNA,?" presented by the City of Denver in conjunction with Plus Gallery at the McNichols Civic Center Building, following his selection by the Denver Biennial of the Americas to represent the United States at the URRA artist residency program in Buenos Aires, Argentina. All of Xi Zhang's exhibitions in Colorado have been riveting affairs since he began presenting work, his rare abilities as a painter perfectly matched by the fearlessness in which he tackles the concepts that consume his thoughts.

Come join us on Thursday evening, May 29th from 7-9pm for his latest - BONE
