SOMETHING ELECTRIC 2: Paintings of Vintage Guitars
by NICOLE STEEN of The PopTarts


Pin-ups on Pick-ups,Female Stars on Guitars!!

In SOMETHING ELECTRIC 2: Paintings of Vintage Guitars ,
local artist,curator and musician Nicole Steen exhibits the second series of paintings of
sleek,candy coloured retro treasures adorned with glamour girls and female pop culture icons.
From a Fender Jaguar,Telecaster,a Gretsch Firebird to an Eko,Burns, Hofner and Gibson ES
with TV and comic book icons Emma Peel,Barbarella, Elvira,Red Sonja to pop stars Neko Case,Joan Jett
and movie glamour queens Marilyn Monroe,Anita Ekberg and Mamie Van Doren.
SOMETHING ELECTRIC 2 pays tribute to an archetypical symbol of pop culture,independence
and rebellion: the electric guitar at the same time exploring the feminine aspect of the
instrument (the fundamental form is in the shape of a woman's figure) and it's
powerful appeal to both sexes.
