INTRODUCING LAURA KRUDENER TO THE PLUS GALLERY FAMILY OF ARTISTS
Laura Krudener is the most recent
addition to the Plus Gallery family of artists, and one we've had our
eye on for some time now. Krudener typically works in a large scale
and bold colors, layering poured acrylic paint with a variety of forms
and techniques that push the boundaries within abstract painting
today. Her poured paint creates a montage of drips, bubbles, and
cracked paint that celebrate the little catastrophes of each
painting's process. Improvised mark-making using ink, marker, and
charcoal then respond to the painting's development. Each painting
dictates a process of creating and dissolving systems, a meditation of
space and formlessness, and a celebration of movement and fluidity.
Krudener works with raw canvas, often leaving generous amounts of
negative space that pronounce the confidence of her techniques.
The results are breathtaking and bold, come see for yourself on the
second floor of our gallery and look out for Krudener's debut
exhibition with the gallery sometime in 2013.
Laura received her MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2009.
Her most exhibitions include "New Paintings" at Space
Gallery in Denver, "Vernissage" at Fort Mason in San
Francisco, "White Space" at Design Within Reach in
Boulder, and "Transparencies," at the Boulder Museum of
Contemporary Art. Look for an extensive profile on Krudener in the
upcoming issue of Modern In Denver - along with Plus Gallery artist
Susan Meyer - due to hit newstands next week!
Plus Gallery is known as one of the true progressive contemporary exhibition spaces in Denver, maintaining the highest standards for artist representation and community interaction. Since 2001 the gallery has built a formidable reputation as a valuable resource for the art and collector community through solo exhibitions by some of Colorado's most prestigious and forward thinking artists, as well as an ongoing experimental forum for new media. The program offers an extensive selection of works by visionary national artists and often serves as an incubator for new emerging talent. Plus Gallery collaborates with partners throughout the Denver area in order to raise the vitality of the local scene, complementing the efforts put forth at the institutional level in order to construct a more creative and dynamic community.
In 2009 Plus Gallery relocated to one of downtown Denver's most unusual and dramatic structures, the "Flue" building of the Benjamin Moore Paint complex at 2501 Larimer Street at the entrance to the River North Arts District. This singular redevelopment incorporates a two-story gallery to enhance the sophistication and quality of artwork represented.
