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.

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

(Okay maybe not that extreme...)

[–] Nath@aussie.zone 24 points 6 months ago

I demand they keep it up. So there.

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.

I feel like you are a little biased here, Esteemed academy award nominated character actress Margot Robbie.

Bandit would be a much better choice.

Bandit in his wild dog days before settling down to have a family

it was the ~~80s~~ 2000s

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

You are right! He totally would.

I wanted to at least win something this year, if not the Oscars...

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.

[–] Gorgritch_umie_killa@aussie.zone 14 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] No1@aussie.zone 12 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....

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 11 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.

Streisand Effect, do your work!

It already is

[–] dumblederp@aussie.zone 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

fuck Gina Rinehart.

[–] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 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 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] unionagainstdhmo@aussie.zone 3 points 6 months ago

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

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

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

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

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

[–] breakingcups@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Streisand effect anyone?

[–] Cypher@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

The painting is very accurate to what she looked like before her plastic surgeon got to work.

[–] Auzy@beehaw.org 4 points 6 months ago

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

[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 3 points 6 months ago

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

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

This lady must hate those caricature artists on the boardwalk.

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

[–] KazuyaDarklight@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Streisand effect for sure, but I can also definitely understand her request. Yikes

[–] set_secret@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Im sure she'll come up with an effective way to erase it from society and the internet.

[–] Nath@aussie.zone 2 points 6 months ago

I don't even know what his issue with this picture is. As a blunder years photo, it's not that bad. 18-year-old me would have even envied that coat.
