Acrylic & Ink on Mount Board, 2024
What Sort of Art Do You Like satirises the arbitrariness of taste-making in the art world through the familiar format of a personality-style quiz.
To play, pick the month you were born from the left-hand column (e.g. December: Inflatable), then match it with the third letter of your first name from the right-hand column (e.g. E: Eyeballs). The surreal outcomes highlight both the randomness and the humour embedded in cultural categorisation.
The work draws inspiration from social media quiz culture and playful naming conventions, such as the “pornstar name game” (your mother’s maiden name plus your first pet’s name). It also incorporates references from the artist’s wider practice (e.g. Barry from Look Up Festival, 2023) and British popular culture. These eclectic sources reinforce the work’s commentary on how taste, identity, and absurdity intersect in contemporary art.
