Aesthetic Antonym

That is a loaded question! It has been considered an individual perception , since the first art critic scammed the general population with his or her personal opinion. We all know those are worth! An artist friend of mine once told me , during a late night gathering of friends(and three shared bottles of excellent vintage),that " Art is a fart in the dark, it hits a different nerve with each nose it encounters ". I think that's still an interesting concept !

" Aesthetically pleasing" means pleasing to the eye. So the opposite would be "Bone Ugly". :-)

Aesthetically unpleasant
That would be the exact opposite, though just 'ugly' may well convey it all.

Perhaps the most honest assessment would be that of a child saying "YUCK!".
