Jan. 31, 2011 - PRLog -- This Friday, February 4, 2011 the VARGA Gallery's founder and curator Christina Varga will present the latest creations in the ongoing series of VARGA Girls at "VARGA (Insouciant digs at post-feminist archetypes of female sexuality)" opening at The Pajama Factory in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. This is Varga's first solo show of 2011 and another in a line of exhibits celebrating Varga's collage works which incorporate images of women clipped from various vintage erotic publications such as Playboy, Oui, Penthouse, VIVA, Hustler and other such magazines all circa 60's and 70's. The series have traveled from Virginia to Ohio to Holland and are continuing their parade to Pennsylvania.

"The VARGA Girls are a natural evolution of my work which has always focused on the feminine and the spiritual. I find them inevitable. There were only so many times I could be asked "like the VARGA Girls?' and not come up with this." The series ranges from works on canvas and wood boards to VARGA Girl Gift Cards, collectible Artist Trading Cards, prints and stickers. WXPI Radio will be on hand for all the music and art events happening at the Pajama Factory. The event begins at 6 p.m in Williamsport, PA at the Pajama Factory at the Graphic Hive Gallery - 1307 Park Avenue, Williamsport, PA.
