Throughout the long history of art, fashion, and popular culture, most representations of women depict the female form as an object of desire-whether the subject is an eroticized odalisque in a nineteenth-century painting or a hyper-sexualized model, actress, or singer on a twenty-first-century magazine or album cover. Fortunately, a few superheroes of the art world-writers, performers, illustrators, painters-have used the very platform of art to expose the sexism and inequality often found lurking beneath its gilded surface.

Second group show to showcase more innovative art than ever

No, we're not talking about the misguided spirit of primitivism here, but a whole new beast: the second annual "Savages" show at Studios on the Park in Paso Robles, curated by local wild man and friend of New Times Neal Breton. The show features the work of the eponymous loose collective of young (teens to thirties) and "emerging" California artists whose media range from film to canvas, spray paint to skin. Plein air they ain't, but definitely a breath of fresh air. "Savages" opens on March 1 with an opening reception from 6 to 9 p.m. and runs through March 30. Call 238-9800 or visit studiosonthepark.org for more information.
