Charming Deformation is an art exhibition and catalog about eight artists whose works are often considered to be disturbing, strange, or even “ugly”. Their arts re-examine the definition of “beauty” and “ugliness” in human society. Do beauty and ugliness, good and evil, right and wrong really exist? Or they are just labels we give to things around us? The art pieces in this exhibition, known as “grotesque art”, are both repulsive and appealing to the audience, leading them to rethink common sense and universal cognition. The ugliest thing can be the most beautiful, vice versa.
