Honestly it seems to just be the artist's style.

Sounds like she's just having a hissy fit.

[–] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 29 points 6 months ago

The artist himself calls it “guerilla humour” so it is on purpose.
And let’s not forget, the higher up ozzies don’t really like satire at all.

This reminds me of that intentionally bad Simpson's art page that went viral on Facebook several years ago (probably a lot longer than it feels like).

Kinda reminds me of that messed up restoration of a painting of Jesus.

[–] Ilandar@aussie.zone 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Or Mr Bean's attempt at restoring Whistler's Mother lol

(Okay maybe not that extreme...)

[–] Nath@aussie.zone 18 points 6 months ago

I demand they keep it up. So there.

Hahaha thats truly terrible! I can see why she wants taken down. NGA might need to extend their hours for this one.

How does she think this works? Fucking billionaires think they own the world.

Edit: let’s get a portrait of Lonnie in there.

[–] quicken@aussie.zone 7 points 6 months ago

I would like to see more headlines name the artist, Vincent Namatjira.

Maybe: Woman demands NGA remove her portrait by award winning artist Vincent Namatjira.

I'd love to get prints from the artist to hang on my wall.

[–] quicken@aussie.zone 5 points 6 months ago

Gina has never heard of the Streisand effect. Let's hope she never does

[–] No1@aussie.zone 6 points 6 months ago

Luckily, in the article, the caption underneath the pictures told me which one was actually a photo of Gina, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to tell....

Streisand Effect, do your work!

It already is

[–] MargotRobbie@lemm.ee 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

And I demand her portrait to be replaced by a funny portrait of a way cooler Aussie. Like esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie. Or Bluey.

It's a win-win.

[–] CaptKoala@lemmy.ml 4 points 6 months ago

As much as I would love if they did exactly that, I much prefer the public humiliation that Gina Rinehart is experiencing.

All this faffing about trying to get it removed is only drawing more eyeballs to the piece, and I love that shit with my whole heart.

[–] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 4 points 6 months ago

beat me to it! I demand she go fuck herself.

Oh look. Nothing happened. Guess making demands is just completely fucking redundant hey.

Well, just take it as advice Gina.

[–] DeltaTangoLima@reddrefuge.com 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yay for the Streisand Effect! Imma post this monthly now...

Luckily this portrait isn't "AI" generated or everyone would have to agree with her.

This lady must hate those caricature artists on the boardwalk.

"HOW DARE YOU DRAW ME LIKE THAT. I LOOK NOTHING LIKE THAT!"
