Big ups to Secret Still hermano Rey Ortega for dropping some knowledge on me about the new group show that he’s a part of. Without his e-mail I never would’ve seen the works of Shen Plum, who definitely perked up my gray Monday morning. The only reason I didn’t analyze her work for a full hour was because there were burritos calling from the next room. No one can resist that siren song. But then I came back and re-enjoyed everything I could get my eyes on in her portfolio. Her work is soft, playful, and colorful in all the right places. It puts me in mind of being trapped in a vortex of pillows and electro-folk acid jams. If you’re in the neighborhood of Canada then you can stop by Show and Tell Gallery to see Rey and Shen, along with a handful of other young art monsters, in their current show titled Gifted.
