RadFem To Watch: Jaclyn Santos

While living on my friend's futon he had me watch a new Bravo show called Work of Art, which is much like any other Bravo show, in that it's an elimination based, competition style show for something hipstery. The cast of characters on the show is pretty interesting, you've got your lesbian who undresses the hot, angsty straight girl with her eyes, the adorable gay guy who paints auto-follatio (and misspells it), you've got the crazy insomniac, OCD psycho-pants who ejaculates on his art and then you've got the rail-thin, beauty, radical feminist painter known as Jaclyn Santos. Jaclyn's work is RadFem worthy in the fact that she exploits the female form and manipulates body composure and expression to make a statement about the female experience. In the latest episode of Work of Art the artists were asked to create something shocking. Jaclyn immediately stripped down and took some nudey MySpace style pics and created an interactive tryptic that allowed the audience to draw on and deface her photographs. She's a firecracker and now a personal heroin of Radioactive Cookies. Here are a few of her pieces, check out her website for more!
