someone call the cops
the strip club on marshall
has yet to even open
and the predictable rise in crime
that naked whores dancing on stages
giving hand jobs in the back seat
of an 1988 honda civics
usually bring
is already here
one of those
looking for a quick fix
and an even quicker lay
went and stole most of the color
from pinkney herberts studio
at marshall arts
and if the cops need to look for proof
they need to look no further
than the recently painted works
at david lusk gallery this month
compared to that
of the older works
that is now at amum
it is obvious the works
are painted with the same hand
so what happened to all the color
where is that fire
in the works at dlg
no sluggo dave calls
thunderbird
a tremendous painting
hamlet says of the show
theyre the freshest paintings i have seen in a long time
there is no doubt
that pinkney is coming from a different place
what place is that
i have no idea
and we here at artmemphis.net <http://artmemphis.net>
do not wish to delve
into such art theory stuff
we can tell you
that the summer of pinkney has begun
opening this friday night
at amum
are
pinkney herbert
whitney leland
and
carol mode
and their three paths to abstraction
so go to both venues
and decide for yourself
if the pinkney
needs to file a police report
or just let it ride
and keep on keeping on
oh yeah
also at dlg
until the end of the month
