MORGAN PICS FROM LAST WEEK'S CVA OPENING NOW ON PLUS WEBSITE

Last week the Center for Visual Arts in Denver unveiled an exhibition that should be on everyone's list to visit this winter.  "Out Figured" is an exceptional display of both local and national talent that takes the concept of figure in contemporary art to great heights.  Named as one of the top shows not to miss this season by the Denver Post, the exhibition features a broad selection of recent paintings by Plus Gallery artist Jenny Morgan, who visited Denver last week for the opening reception.  Visit the Plus Gallery scrapbook page to see pics of Jenny and her contribution to the show.

NEW PLUS GALLERY VIDEO NOW ONLINE! JENNY MORGAN: SELF PORTRAIT

"Jenny Morgan - Self Portrait" is the first video composition of the acclaimed young painter from New York City who began her career in Denver, CO with Plus Gallery just eight years ago. Morgan discusses the more intimate details of several of her most compelling paintings of the last 4 years, works that have defined her as one of the top emerging talents in the US. Known for her exquisite and revealing self portraits as well as her interpretations of other people in her life, Morgan's body of work redefines the genre of contemporary portraiture.
