Artist
Pinkle, a three year old brown Havana, specializes in extended murals. Her early works, such as "Dog Meat" 1992, (painted down both sides of a Mazda Vanette), and "Rodin's Rollicking Rodents" 1993, (along the back wall of the Rodin Garden at Stanford University), lacked any clear vision and tended to rely solely on their adventurous nature for effect. However, following a six month caesura in 1994, she returned to her murals with an energy and fastidiousness which, by defying its own controlled formalism, allowed her to convey the poignancy inherent in her subtle messages of rodent rapture and canine incompetence.

Curatorial Notes
"...the flamboyance and bold physicality of gesture which tended to dominate (and limit) Pinkle's earlier works, have been replaced by more delicate and precisely controlled marks which help to add meaning and convey a deeper concern." Constance Merrihew, exhibition catalog, 1994.

Sent In By: Mrs Holly Kresge of Palo Alto, California, USA.

Estimated Value: Provided the portion of the fence with the work on it can be successfully removed, this mural would be worth in excess of $20,000. (MONPA).
