Monkey Bars By Jeremiah Stansbury Text by Luigi Fairbanks ____________________
Here’s another painting from Jeremiah Stansbury. Again, I
circulated the piece to the other members of the staff in order to get their
opinions on the piece. With Jeremiah’s work, this often consists of trying to
decipher what’s actually going on in the painting. Eileen: “Why is Liberace attacking that large red monkey?
And why has he taken his shirt off? And why is he wearing my Shoes of
Magnificence? Who painted this, Luigi? Who dares intrude on my life through such
colorful portrayals of shoes, monkeys, and violence?!” Genevieve: “You’ll notice Freud being trampled upon at
the bottom. At least, that’s what Freud looked like when I trampled him in
1987.” Andrew: “Monkeys!” Bigfoot: “My cousin Ralph was a nude model.” Haratron: “Oh, I get it. Monkey bars, as in the
playground apparatus. Yeah, okay. That would explain the basketball hoop in
there. When you said monkey bars I was imagining a bunch of monkeys getting
drunk. This is totally different. Incidentally, my grandfather was melted down
and turned into some monkey bars.” ____________________ Jeremiah Stansbury is a prolific artist who is currently
being prolific in art. His artwork has been on display in numerous areas in the
Memphis, Tennessee area and on that magical technological marvel known as the
internet. In fact, you can see more of his work here: http://www.absolutearts.com/clipinpics/.
Luigi Fairbanks remembers the Alamo. He remembers because
Ozzy Osborne peed on it. |
