The Shadow Gets "Eye Candy"

February is an interesting month. Usually throughout the month, themes have ranged from romantic love to erotic love. On Valentine's Day, The Shadow had the opportunity to view an art exhibit from ARTWorkSF that came in the middle.

As The Shadow mentioned, this exhibit definitely comes in the middle. "Eye Candy", in the words of Curator Matt McKinley:

is any image that heightens arousal or brings up thoughts of love and intimacy: depictions of aphrodisiacs, symbols of love, and the accoutrements of creating mood or reinforcing connections (i.e. the symbolic meaning of flowers or jewels). This exhibit features sugestive rather than overt, erotic, not sexual, images that cause the mind to wander towards amore!

You can view this exhibit at the Hotel Triton, 342 Grant Avenue, in downtown San Francisco. The exhibit is open 24/7 and will run through March 21, 2007.
