Bella McGoldrick’s Filthy Rich turns something ordinary — a used bar of soap in a plastic dish — into a quietly ruthless commentary on luxury and status. Drawn with her signature hyperreal precision, the work features a bar stamped “GUCCI,” surrounded by delicate soap bubbles and subtle surface glare, rendered so faithfully it could almost pass for a photograph. McGoldrick is known for elevating everyday objects and souvenirs of modern life, and here she pushes that idea toward satire: cleanliness, excess, branding, and vanity all collapse into one immaculate, slightly absurd object. It’s both seductive and critical, reminding us how easily desire attaches itself to a logo — even on something meant to wash us clean.
