Teak Ramos’s case for beauty

Contributed by Talia Shiroma / It is safe to say that beauty has become an incidental quality in visual art over the last century, taking a back seat to, among other things, art’s expanded range of aesthetic values, its social and political dimensions, and capacity for novelty. So it was surprising to find, at Teak Ramos’s solo show “In Traditional Fashion” at Ulrik Gallery, a self-conscious display of visual delight. The exhibition featured 14 panels clad in white silk and tulle, which ran along the walls like errant pearls. The works are impassive, delicate, and thoughtfully constructed. They are lovely and empty forms.
