Meme culture meets fine art at the newest East Austin art showing.

The subjects in “Lightning is an Angry Rainbow” — think cats coming out of toothpaste tubes or slugs on plates of flan— focus on “nothing cryptic, or literal, just something obvious.”

The mini-gallery, made by Brooklyn, New York-based airbrush artist Patrick Quinn, is McLennon Pen Co. Gallery’s first Artist-in-Residence. You may have seen Quinn’s work with Bad Bunny for Rolling Stone.

The exhibit and opens this Saturday, Sept. 9 through Saturday, Oct. 14 for viewing by appointment.

Attention art collectors: the nine paintings on display are available for sale, ranging from $2,750-$8,000 in asking price.
