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

  Sounds like she’s just having a hissy fit.

    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.

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

  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.

    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.

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

  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.

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

  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…

  It already is

  fuck Gina Rinehart.

  • TinyBreak@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨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.

    Should we change this community’s banner image to be this image?

  She can buy the art off the artist or the NGA if she really wants it gone.

  I’d argue there is no better way to let the world know what kind of person you are if you’re complaining about this though rather than laughing it off

  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!"
