This isn't Hinson's first show at Minnaert Gallery, but then again, he used to teach art history there.  (Membership has its privileges.)  According to the college website, "Palminteri often paints large, colorful narrative pieces highlighting domestic life, while Hinson works more in abstract painted constructions. ... Born of this relationship was Illusion/Allusion, allowing the observer to view the paintings for different aesthetic styles and themes, but also for their common artistic processes."  I'm no Alec Clayton, but I think that means they paint big, awesome pictures (including one as a team) that look awesome and pretty and whatnot. I hope that's not too technical for you.
