For those of you who attended ARTWorkSF's "One Night Stand" show (or saw The Shadow's write-up of it on this blog), you would enjoy this show. The Shadow called this a "mini One Night Stand".

In the words of curator Matt McKinley:

What is sensuality? A heightened sensitivity to instinctual signals of arousal or attraction that one leads (or follows?) down a path towards connection, interaction and highest personal pleasure? On view is visual stimulus from two and three dimensional forms that depict figures erotic, sensual and inviting (depending on what you're into!) with enough skin showing to titillate even the most "well-traveled" eyes. "Skin Deep" represents a feull sexual spectrum -- power play to sweet seduction from artists attuned to pleaure and passion!

This exhibit runs through February 17, 2007 (just in time for Valentine's Day). Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday from noon to 5:30 p.m.

Pictures from the reception are here (Warning: Some of the pictures are sexually explicit -- please be age appropriate to view the pictures).

And yes, all of the pictures in this exhibit are available for sale or rent. Contact ARTWorkSF for details.
