Classic Streisand effect.
Rinehart was only one of 21 tightly packed portraits, and that picture would have been glossed over by most viewers.
But instead, by trying to take it down, Rinehart has ensured that millions around the world would see Namatjira’s portrait of her.
This is totally true. It's so well known now because of it. Also her family's past crimes against indigenous Australians is more well known because of it.
The sweet sweet irony. There are no ethical billionaires.
I've never seen any of the other portraits until I watched this video. I've seen her portrait posted on Reddit at least 5 times at this point, only because of her reaction to it. I would never had seen it if she hadn't reacted to it. I'm not even Australian.
Boosting her ego🎉
Yep. I’m in Canada. Never would have heard of it. Bever would have heard of her. But now I’ve don’t some research on Gina and am well aware of how awful she is! Thanks Gina!
She inherited her vast wealth and had the nerve to lecture poor people about not working hard enough
Inheritance was a lot of debts that she had to pull herself out of and then a lot of family feuding over the inheritance after it was out of debt. Gina Rinehart also has a lot of indigenous peoples working for her and if you work for her companies she funds the education needed to step up to the plate. As for the lectures? No Drugs, No Alcohol. It is a workplace standard in the mining industries.
Well yeah, duuhh. Without them working hard for her she actually can't keep her money 😂
@@couldntholdacandle6681bro defending the old fashioned racist who wants their to be an ethnic genocide is jot a good look
@@couldntholdacandle6681that makes zero sense. The inheritance was just a bunch of debt that she pulled herself out of, and then her relatives tried to claim the new money that she made after she repaid the debt? That’s what you’re saying. Make it make sense 😂
And the wealth is from plundering aboriginal land of its minerals, I love the poetic justice.
Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable. Great stuff.
Precisely!
What a great saying!❤
Bruh I love this
I think most artists like this cant actually draw well but have turned that lack of talent and skill into its own valuable trade with clever marketing. (‘This looks awful, but rather than take the time to learn how to do it well, let’s just call it someone ugly inside). KUDOS to them!
@@americasmomloveeveryonenoe7517they clearly understand painting fundamentals, though… just because it may look simple or ugly doesn’t mean it’s actually easy. like the artist in the video has a lot of deliberate facial choices and a very clear understanding of color and textures.
I recently watched a recording, in one of my lectures, of her deceased father saying all Aboriginal people should be sterilised. That doesn’t mean she believes this ofc, but it shows what kind of attitudes her wealth was built on.
She's just as bad...she thinks all poor people are poor because nobody works hard enough
@@ArohaStill
Oh boy, I have some news for her.
lol she literally believes it also oop
@@peachyjejuneas do many people.
@@ArohaStilland that coming from a worthless human being who inherited all she has.
She made it famous in an exhibit where it may have been ignored among the crowd
Exactly. This is the first I've heard of him and all thanks to her.
Worse: she made it famous internationally to a crowd who had literally no idea she existed until a week ago, and would've never had a chance to see the painting in the first place.
WIN WIN
That's the Streisand Effect in action babyyy
Yup. Never would have been international was if she just let it sit

@@blackharvest13she inherited all the money she has and then told the working class they simply need to "work harder". If that doesn't speak for itself, idk what will
He painted her in her true colours, her inner colours, which she proved right.
The Streisand affect played out deliciously.
she needs to get over herself!

yep...what you focus on expands...
It's a perfectly accurate representation of how most Aussies see her.

That’s too pretty for her soul 😂

Or...he has no talent atall. And just say it is because they are ugly in the inside 😂

@@LilyEvans1996 I believe everyone has two sides of them, depending on which one is more dominating.
Nah he just sucks. Every single painting is ugly and deformed, there is no consistency in the flaws either, so it's not a style. He won a skin tone award and recognition.
Love it when something so insignifcant bothers someone who is so much more powerful. Her reaction really proves the point he is making with his art here. We are all the same, her vast wealth is a cold comfort when she can still be taken down a peg by a "peasant" lol. Art can be so powerful
That lady is hilarious, she Karen’ed her protrait straight onto the world stage 😂
I believe this is called the Barbra Streisand effect. I don't remember the particulars, but there was like an article or a photo of her that she didn't like and wanted pulled from the Internet and sh made a big to do about it. Because of the stink she made about it, it got a bunch of publicity and what had originally had only a few hundred views ended up getting millions of views.
She did haha karma
the second you mentioned mining i thought "keep it up"
What’s wrong with mining
@@raptorfromthe6ix833 destroying the environment, her company destroys indigenous land, people work and get paid so little, her and her dad who started the company are incredibly racist against the native australians and they get rich while their workers cant afford basic necessities
@@raptorfromthe6ix833in Australia the mining companies basically run the government in no small part. They’re essentially unelected seats in parliament with the amount of money they can throw around
@@raptorfromthe6ix833depends on what they are mining and where they are mining is the issue. A lot of stuff that is mined is toxic to be dug up and is considered dangerous to wild life, and where they dig tends to be on guarded beautiful grounds protected by aboriginal tribes and nations, they don’t care about that either.

this is the most accurate representation of gina rinehart I have ever seen. I love it, they better never take it down.
As a billionaire, she’s worried about a painting? The nerve of these rich people. Clearly a miserable person.
And she makes plenty of other people miserable, too.
Right?! Like, lady... PEOPLE CANNOT AFFORD TO FEED THEIR CHILDREN. Sit down and stfu. We're not gonna cry for you because someone didn't make you look pretty in a painting.
Its a horrible painting and looks nothing like her. She has every reason to want it removed. @lisasommerlad1337
I imagine as a billionaire, she hires a significant number of people who rely on her for their livelihood and every bite of food for their children.
@@autumnsimril535 Ok and?
Good for this guy. Being able to express his perception of these people is amazing for him. I think he did an amazing job
that's gotta be the ultimate compliment as an artist. He must be so proud of himself, I would be.
Honestly as soon as you said who she was 99% of my sympathy for her left my body.

Yes. The portraits are of people who have had an influence on his life, whether good or bad.

Perfectly put.
Umm... G'day. There's a few " rogues" in that collection but also some deadset Aussie Legends ant notables.
The portrait titled Albert is Albert Namatjira the artist Grandfather, a internationally celebrated Australian artist who at the height of his career could neither vote nor enter a pub or any licensed venue due to his aboriginality.

As an artist, no. Its just a painting. Its not showing nudity, its not showing anything other than someone's interpretation of a face. No threats, or exposure. Its good art.
Exactly, like boohoo you look ugly in the painting, it's almost like she's an ugly person irl inside and out 😂 bold of her to be complaining about her looks when she's a racist
It's not good art, but it is art. Freedom of expression and all that.
@@phantomkate6It doesn’t have to be a pretty portrait to be good art. The artist painted the woman from his perspective of the controversial figure that she has become in her public life. It is ugly and it is supposed to be ugly.

Nudity is a major part of art historically. It's not offensive generally.

I wil never jidge my art so harshly ever again.
Id never heard of this woman, but now know shes a mining billionaire, most likely using low wage (indigenous) workers for gaining her riches. And unfriendly to the native people of Australia. Thank you for your art! ❤ Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱👋👍🏼
Her dad called for the forced sterilization of the indigenous, she shares that sentiment, and she's made steps to systematically force indigenous people off their lands for the resources underneath. So you're actually right, but it's an understatement of not insignificant proportions.
She also shares her profit with indigenous

If it was a PHOTO I would certainly have it taken down but it’s not. It’s a portrait painting and a subjective expression of the artist.
It says it all, how her family inefficiently and indifferently destroyed the wealth of a country and its indigenous people. A picture is worth a thousand words and truly reveals her soul. Let it stay there.
It’s pretty spot on tbh
I walked downstairs with your video paused on the portrait, and my dad said "why do you have a picture of the richest woman in Australia on your phone" and that scared me
She is well known. Not well liked.
Whatever happened to having so much money, you're above ✨️the poors✨️ - one unflattering painting and you're just like everyone else
God i hope the picture stays up just for this
@@fedyalienthis is flattering, considering what he had to work with. She needs to come down a peg ...or several million. Greed makes no one beautiful.
I almost argued that I disagreed with the tale of “All Australians are equal in this piece” because you could really tell who he doesn’t like by how weird and more abstract he makes them (not that bias is a bad thing we all have it and the unflattering portraits are deserved).
But seeing your comment made me realise that he’s actually knocking the people down a peg. The royal family or Gina are no more important than any other Australian. Thanks for making me see that.
@@embroideredragdoll Wow, I'm glad you appreciated what I had to say. Very much the best to you!
why can't she have a pretty picture painted and then donate it to the same museum?
Scary thing was I knew exactly who that portrait was of before I found out who it was was of.
he's so real for that
The national gallery in Canberra is really magnificent. So is the war memorial which I know a lot of people would not be interested in, it is a large museum as well as a memorial with the names of all Australian war dead. It is a must see when there.
He’s got dysgraphia i’ve never seen someone paint like me love his stuff
You should post ur stuff then🫰 normally I'd be done looking at art in 2 secs, but his stuff isn't boring n you can stay looking at it for minutes!
Does he, or are you armchair diagnosing him because of his art style?
The prince charles one looks like when you flip the canvas in the middle of a digital drawing 💀
DO NOT TAKE IT DOWN!!! FREEDOM OF SPEECH!!! THE PAINTING SHOWS THE TRUTH. IT IS REAL!!!!! LET IT LIVE!!!
The painting fails to fully depict her enormous, corpulent greed.
i take issue with it for separate reasons. i feel portraying cruel people as ugly enforces the idea that beauty is virtuous (and especially that ugliness is sinful)
Ok I never thought of it like that. This is thought provoking for me cuz I would find cruel or bad people ugly as soon as I find their true nature, and made it difficult for me to look at them.
but it's not portraying them as ugly. the artist even features portraits of himself and his renowned father in the same exhibit. these were people who had a significant impact on Australia, good or otherwise, all in the same style. so by your logic he has painted good and bad people ugly
@@kweeniepiez my apologies. the video strongly frames it as her having been deliberately painted ugly.
@@kweeniepiezThat’s clearly not how most people see it though, nor how they’re talking about this. Most people are really just boiling this down to “she’s a bad person so he painted her ugly to make fun of her”, which is really another way to say “body-shaming is a good thing as long as you don’t morally agree with the other person”.
Same. My first thought was not as much ugliness but the exaggerated double chin because she's overweight (and no, that isn't "just because of his artstyle", you can see in other paintings that others are lacking that feature). Reminds me of those rich = fat = greedy older works. But your point about ugliness in general being demonized is definitely true as well. I really dislike these artists who basically make hardly anything above shock value content
He captured her character perfectly.
His depiction of prince Charles is better than his official royal portrait 😭
i was like. "that doesnt look that good."
then i saw the face and was like "yeah, thats close enough"
Ikr, I don't understand people saying he depicted her true appearance/soul. No that's just her, acc to his art style.😶

The painting of Angus Young of AC-DC looks just about right 😅😂
Outstanding art. Love the way truth unfolds for this fine artist. The billionaire's actions have brought great honor to celebrate this artist. It's fabulous how this artist will become famous as we celebrate the great message from the heart of the artist 🎨 💓. Yes, indeed... we are equal ❤️ more money doesn't make you better!😊
"This is a picture of Gina Rinehart" Well thats rude to paint her like that, why would they do this? "she's a mining billionaire" Oh! Then it's justified.
There's more to it than that. Google her name and "$2 a day", "court case against children" , "court case Wright" or "Rose Hancock Porteous" will give you some idea of her character. Or if you are old enough, think of the "Dallas" or "Dynasty" tv series.
The artist truly captured her inner cxnt🤌
Looks like a pre-schooler painted it.
He’s brilliant! That she is upset and wants to make them take it down shows he captured her very well.
I mean, you can say the quality of the portraits are a social commentary and reflect his feelings of the subject…but looking at all of them, has no-one simply concluded that he’s just a _bad_ painter?
I somehow feel that's more the reason😂
@@cyanl.2245the paintings are really well done they’re just of people looking ugly he’s certainly not a bad painter. Look at his usage of shading
A painting doesn’t have to be aesthetically pleasing or beautiful for it to be good. Otherwise we wouldn’t have paintings like Geurnica or The Scream
No, because painting and art is subjective. If you are minimising it to that it just shows how ignorant you are. Go read more about him and his work instead of just assuming you know it.
I think it looks spot on.
If I had a billion dollars in the bank the last thing I would be worrying about is some random portrait of myself looking like sloth from the goonies in a gallery somewhere. I’d be happy regardless.
It's not a picture of her. It is the artist's view of her as a portrait.
Actually, Gina didn't contact the gallery. It was a foundation which she provides financial support. Not that it would have been surprising if she had.
Oh, so she paid someone to contact them. Huge difference.
Pretty much 😂

Not sure why it's he award winning. The paintings are rubbish
It's a culture of hate.
So glad the gallery is holding their ground to protect the sanctity of art and expression.
Vincent Namijira is a SATIRICAL artist. That’s the whole point of the way he paints the portraits.
instead, now there are articles and shorts talking about her wishes to have it taken down and even more people that would have never seen it otherwise got to see it ♡
"If this were a photo of you..." nah, its funny i love it
This is the ENTIRE POINT OF ART. To see things from a different perspective. To shine a light on harsh truths. So speak with an authentic voice. Is he painted my portrait like that, I would do serious reflection on who I am as a person. Not campaign to hide it.
He paints their soul.
Ngl her portrait definitely is the least flattering lmao. He made her a bit lumpier than anyone else
Art that makes fun of ugly features triggers hurt and shame in anyone with similar features.
Attacking people by their looks is a low form of criticism and adds no positives to society.
but it sure brings out a chuckle out of the oppressed common folk
As an aussie, I'd like to say that's a photorealistic painting and that's exactly how she's perceived. He's a master!
her first mistake was asking the gallery to take the painting down. that’s how she exposed her ego and insecurities
It's awful. I wouldn't want anyone seeing this
Those pictures ain't good let's be honest.
Yeah but they were made by an abidigital artist so we have to pretend it's good, kinda like how you do with a kindergartner showing you their finger painting.
More than deserved! Happy she was the one who brought his art the attention it deserved!
Disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed. That’s what art is supposed to do
Is that Angus Young on there? What did he do?
The video is slightly misleading, the portraits are of people who have made an influence on Australia wether for better or worse
Jimi Hendrix is in the gallery, too. I didn't think he was Australian. Maybe, I'm mistaken
@@madma19 that is a new one on me, Maybe he liked Jimi .
@@madma19 Jimi was American so I’m also confused why he’s on there lol, I hope he didn’t do anything problematic
I wouldn't just LOVE that paining, I would be the one to have commissioned a portait like this if I was rich.
It's cool when people are interpreted by artists, flattering or not.
I honestly thought that first pic was a painting of the stalker from baby reindeer 😂😂
Omg I can't stop laughing 🤣. She looks unhinged in that painting. I love this. He captured her soul
I have had people paint portraits of me, without my permission, which I did not like. I shrugged it off and moved on with my life.
Hmmmm....I think the artist was expressing his personal feelings.
Artists have their style. At times they are also great at conveying a psychological undercurrent of a person, or sometimes transferring such onto the subject matter. That is why it is a form of ART.
Honestly, the drawing of prince charles was a glow up 😂
I HOPE they never take ANY of those paintings down!!
Just a reminder anyone can be an award winning artist if you know the right people.
and have the right background everyone has sympathy for.
Yeah it looks like middle school art class portraits lol
It’s easy to criticize when you have no experience. I’m a painter - MFA and all - and they are good paintings. It’s harder than it looks to be able to convey those expressions and capture each persons likeness through a distinctive personal style. He’s skilled, you simply don’t know how to appreciate it. And judged by the person belittling his success because of his ethnicity - you are a hater, jealous, and racist. I’m sure his portrait of you would be as flattering as the billionaire’s
@@drebugsita Stop acting like a saint because you aren’t. you are the one bringing up his race like it matters what race he is. I’m saying a lot of this modern art is a joke. Especially the ones trying to push some lame message. I’ve seen better artists in highschools and colleges that should be getting more attention than this lame art.
I LOVE that she thought she could control that 😂
The portrait doesn’t look at all like her. Who would ever know that was who the painting was supposed to look like!
🤦🏽♂️ this is what missing the point looks like
@@DeloreonThe point is that body-shaming is actually a good thing just as long as the other person is morally bad?
She’s looking down on you. The perspective here is a little difficult to tell at first, but we are positioned slightly beneath her and she is holding her head up while looking down at you in disgust. You are seeing the underside of her chin and her neck more than you would if she was in a relaxed position.
Do I understand wanting a portrait of yourself down from some place? Yes. Do I think it should be taken down? No. Why? Art is one of the main tools along with the media for freedom of speech and freedom of expression, and of course the people who deserve and need to get called out won't want to be called out.
Yeah man ill paint an ugly photo of you and show the whole world , we'll see how you feel. You're only letting it slide because of disdain for the rich
Gina using her power to try and erasure someone else's view and creativity, is proving the artist's point brilliantly.
Tell me why the painting had me cackling so hard I couldn’t breathe! 🤣💀
I don’t know who she is or what she did but in my opinion it doesn’t really matter. If she wants it down than she should be allowed to have it taken down, that goes for anyone, if someone draws you without your permission or consent and is profiting off of it either with actual money or with exposure the person should be allowed to have it taken down.
That’s just my opinion if I’m wrong feel free to disagree with me I’d love to know where I’m wrong.
Just because a person does not like how they've been depicted by an artist, what right do they have to censor and stifle creative expression? She does not own that art, it's not her intellectual property. She is a public figure, there's been many candid pictures of her taken in the past. I just don't see why she should be given special treatment, this exhibition isn't JUST about her there are many other influential figures present.
The Gallery refused her request, end of story. If she truly cared about how the public perceived her, she should have been a decent human being to begin with.
I agree. I despise how normalized it is to invade others' privacy, not only in the form of art but also on social media; you constantly see TikTokers filming and walking up to random people, none of who have ever consented to it. "But it's legal if you're in public!" so, you're admitting that the law governs your morality? I would also hate it if someone made a mocking portrait of me and also not want it publicly displayed, regardless of their cause of it being "in the name of art" or whatever. Not necessarily banning things of course but I agree with you, if someone politely requests it then it should be done without a fuss. And I don't really care for this woman or like her much either so it's not a defense, it's my opinion regardless of whoever this drama would've been about. Apparently it was not even her personally making the request but a company in her name as well, though I don't have an exact source on this one, but it seems likely that she would have someone else do the work of communication with public figures anyway.
@@UserKjlpifmahgqoe the point of it isn’t just for her. It’s for everyone. My point is that it shouldn’t matter who you are you should have the right I someone depicts you in art in a way you view negative to be able to have it taken down.
Otherwise people can start using art as a means to spread rumors about people and make them look bad and ruin their image, even if they’re a good person.
It’s also still his property, he’s not going to have it taken away from him just not in a public art gallery where he can gain from it.
@@luckybucky1682This point only stands if the person is innocent or just an ordinary person, but this is a rich billionaire who takes advantage of the less privileged so no
@@sakurayankishi9708 I do agree rich people could abuse this however the same could be said about looking at it the other way. If it weren’t allowed people could abuse this to spread misinformation about people and tarnish their image.
At the end of the day there isn’t one simple solution, the one I gave is just one as sort of a concept for a potential solution, you would have to make some rule that prevents both sides from abusing this however this would almost guaranteed take lots of time and multiple iteration to get it perfect, because otherwise someone will find a loophole and exploit it for self gain.
