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:
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.
