Peek-A-Boo is the next “sex”hibition at E11even 2. It highlights the best features of classic Pin-Up girls. The closing reception is on Friday, April 15th from 5-10p, during the 3rd Fridayevents at 78th Street Studios and features 19 local artists.

Curator and owner, Christina Sadowski, says,
​“I collect pin-up girl tattoos and have always enjoyed those types of iconic images. Often people hear erotic and think dirty, but with this show the images are beautiful and classically posed nudes.”
Sadowski says she doesn’t expect any controversy over the show. There are no explicit images, but does warn guests that it maybe more suited for an adult crowd. 
Guests can also expect more then just art. Guest Pin-Up Queens will be on hand to enhance the atmosphere and pose with guests. Custom Peek-A-Book koozies will be given out, and Cleveland’s own Burlesque performer,
Bella Sin, will give a performance at the closing reception on April 15th.

Christina says I love classic pin-ups because they are real women. They have womanly curves and exude confidence. I began collecting pin-up girls tattoos. My recent collection are all redheads (as am I) but each represent a different part of myself. (One is holding a camera as I am a photographer, One is a vampire as I love Halloween, and most recently, one is a gypsy as sometimes you need to wander to find your way in life.) 
In our society, I feel women are pressured to look a certain way and what's truly important is loving the skin your in. The images in the show portray body positive imagery which was very important for me. 

I can't pick a favorite image! I absolutely love the slip cast figures by Jared Gepperth. They are palm sized figures that he has made into magnets. They are 
beautifully glazed and a deal at $10 each. The nude painting by Eileen Dorsey is one of my favorites. The colors are textures are to die for! Along with those, we also debuted Tail Light Taxidermy. These are wall art lights made from actual muscle car tail lights.  They are embellished with placards from the original car as well. Very unique and a great conversation piece. While they do not have pin-ups in the piece, I felt they worked well in the show. Pretty girls and muscle cars are always a match!
