unartistic
Without creative flair
Unartistic describes someone or something lacking artistic sense, skill, or appreciation.
An unartistic person may have no eye for visual aesthetics or no interest in creative expression: I'm completely unartistic—I can barely draw a stick figure.
Unartistic work lacks the qualities that would make it art: imagination, craft, or beauty.
