Considering kitsch as an aesthetic category can be controversial. By definition, the term is pejorative. Why, then, have artists consciously begun to use it? This phenomenon is highlighted by Julia Curyło's canvas, on the surface of which gold flakes, glitter or sequins glitter. These elements are a reference - as if an attribute of the figures depicted in the painting - well-known representatives of modern art, whose rivalry in the art world has been depicted by the painter, at the same time touching on the subject of works that do not carry any content, but are undoubtedly aesthetic and decorative objects. Julia Curyło shows how mass culture, pop styling, encroaches on various areas of life including artistic life, perhaps provoking a discussion whether, in the face of the commercialization of creativity, for example, a stylishly framed graphic from Ikea will soon also begin to be considered a work of art.

"Attention was also drawn to a heartwarming painting entitled Jeff Koons and Damien Hirst Divide the Art Market, which in a humorous and simple way illustrates the functioning mechanisms and divisions that exist in the contemporary art market. In addition, this work can be considered a peculiar - albeit simplistic - commentary on the current situation of art - especially its commercial aspect. Jeff Koons and Damien Hirst are icons of recent art. Both are among the highest-earning artists, and works by them extremely often achieve outstanding auction records. In addition, they represent the world's two largest markets - the American (New York) and English (London), which is also clearly marked in the painting by Julia Curylo, which is overflowing with symbols and attributes. It should be noted that this painting is an example of a work in which the iconographic layer has been masterfully built up, thanks to which reading the hidden meanings in the image becomes a real challenge and - no doubt - good fun."
