Abstract

Uncontrollable Beauty examines the role beauty and taste play in commoditization and monetization of art within contemporary Western culture. This body of work is predicated on the notion of ‘good taste’ and explores this complex issue through the history and medium of painting and the concept of ‘decorativeness’ as they relate to modernist criticism and commercial industry.
