Plus Gallery presents:
PRIMITIVES:
New Sculpture by Mike Whiting
October 21 - November 27, 2010
Opening Reception Thursday, October 21st from 6-8pm
Mike Whiting is one of the few young sculptors in the American market making an impact in both the public realm as well as amongst contemporary collectors through his exhibitions, producing an extremely focused, well conceived body of work that continues to evolve in spectacular fashion. Plus Gallery anticipates his latest solo outing "Primitives" at the core of the fall season, timed to coincide around the installation of the artist's latest major public work "Rhino" on the highly visible Broadway Corridor in celebration of the RiNo art district and procured through funds of the Broadway Viaduct Lower Maintenance District (BVLMD). Whiting's work in "Primitives" takes the evolution of his pixel-based mind-frame to the next level, drawing closer the line between the real and the virtual that is continually redefining our society.
MIKE WHITING IN THE PRESS AND DEBUTING THIS WEEK IN LA
Plus Gallery is currently featuring terrific new work by sculptor Mike Whiting in the exhibition "Primitives," on view through November 27th. Whiting's trajectory with the gallery has been an inspiration, touting one of the most fascinating developments for an emerging artist that we've come across. The fact that he's been exclusive to Plus Gallery is due in large part to the overall demand for his work as well as his success in the Public realm, something that has been noted in this week's edition of the Westword Weekly along with a writeup on his current exhibition here: http://www.westword.com/2010-11-18/culture/denver-s-art-districts-are-mostly-growing-concerns/
There's also a nice writeup on the exhibition from Telluride Inside, the premier blog for art, culture and lifestyle in Telluride and beyond, written by Plus Gallery friend and fan Susan Viebrock. You can read what she has to say about her recent visit to Denver at: http://www.tellurideinside.com/
