Little Minx. Poppity Goblet. Sausage. Boo-boo. Pussycat.

Fastidious. Minor weakness for bananas and berries. Intrigued by her own nasal cavities. Likes a wander. Bossy boots. Considerate to soft toys. Enjoys a good lick of the coe-woe before bedtime. Furtive ice cube thief. Says Chinese words. With an English accent. Snores (gently). Lacks canines. A bloody genius.

Newsflash: Galerie Minx Wrecked By Artistic Rage


Deconstruction reinterpreted

There's a fine line between creative exuberance and artistic rage. Which of the two states The Artist was in this morning when she ripped the seminal 'Bisou Bisou' from the gallery wall remains unclear. The discovery was made earlier today when the resident curator was tipped off by the uncharacteristic silence in the gallery. Pictured here is the scene that greeted her, though without the guilt-stricken Artist, who at the time this picture was taken, had been pulled aside for questioning.

Like the Lourve without the Mona Lisa, or Saatchi Gallery without animals in formaldyhede, Galerie Minx sans 'Bisou Bisou' seems somewhat incomplete. In an official statement issued by the gallery's press room, Chief Curator Madame N expressed the gallery's sense of loss but stressed the need to move forward. "We are all sad that 'Bisou Bisou' has been damaged, but we need to move on and look to the future. We are convening an Emergency Meeting for the gallery's Board of Directors . We are closed until further notice to contemplate the gallery's post-'Bisou Bisou' future." At the time of this interview going to press, the seminal artwork had been sent for professional restoration.

On a happier note, however, it appears The Artist has realised the error of her ways and has since tried to make reparations. As a result of which there is now a possible new addition to the gallery - albeit a line drawing on the newly upholstered daybed (Medium: Blue ink). However, given the size of the mattress, the new exhibit (Titled: Waking On a Fine Line) may have to remain housed in a separate wing.

Ode to The Artist

A dash
A splash
A dot
A blot
A swish
A miss
She works her magic
Across the fabric
Never for a moment
Was she hesitant
A picture of a saint
As she paints
Too many critics have been silenced
By sheer talent and occasional creative defiance.
How could you possibly dispute?
This Artist of genius repute.
