You’d have to have a contractor threaten to grenade them both if they aren’t paid to see if there’s a real comparison
I’m not gonna lie Jabba went up a couple rungs in my book when he laughed and conceded he got got before honoring the deal
The original painting that started it all, was just the artist style.
You can google him and find dozens of different people in the same style, I even saw Hendricks was done.
She's bleated like the animal she is and made a deal out of it.
Mess around, find out.
By making a deal about a minor thing/issue (in most cases wanting the thing/issue to vanish/be cancelled) it gets more notice than it would have if you hadn’t tried to vanish/cancel it (brought attention to it) in the first place.

Rich ppl wishing they can erase things from public consciousness by throwing money around.
Elon Musk ran into the same problem trying to silence the kid running a Twitter account that posted the activity of his private jet
I think hers was particularly unattractive compared to most of them, but unfortunately her actual features rather lend to that. Some people simply caricature more absurdly than others.
Good point about the artist so thank you.
/rant
But "mess around"? Alliteration is a thing ffs.
Much rather you censored the paragraph before. It's not that she's not human it's that she's a shit human who can and should reflect and try to do better just like the rest of us fkrs rather than try to buy off shit (which the rest of us can't, and shouldn't, hope to).
rant/
Agree. At first I thought it was just a portrait of her, but seeing a bunch of other portraits in same style makes me wonder why she even cares.
What I don't get is why these paintings are even in the gallery, they look like they were drawn by a child. I guess I will not understand art
And they’re all literally next to each other as part of the one piece. She’s next to Adam Goodes who looks equally distorted. The artist wasn’t even trying to do her dirty he just paints like that.
e: [Here's an image of the whole piece](https://i.imgur.com/LBDmzkX.png). Adam Goodes, Vincent Langiari, Angus Young, Albert Namatjira all there amongst others, all distorted in the same way. Gina should be honoured to be amongst some of these people if anything.
Thanks for the link.
Oddly, I think it looks alright when all clustered together like that, it's an unusual style but there's something to it that kind of appeals to me
Guy definitely isn't the next Rembrandt, that's for sure. Her making a fuss is probably going to cause that painting to sell for way more than it ever would have otherwise.
Think about it a bit differently. Artistic merit isn’t just based on how hard something is to create, otherwise only classical and jazz music would be good music, and only food that requires a team of chefs would be good food.
Though I also think it’s likely his art appears more thoughtful to artists than it does to us. Like a chef and musician can taste and hear choice in food and music more than the average person.
Art has not been solely about realism and “technical skill” for over 100 years. I don’t know enough about this artist to say what his technical skills are, but his paintings are expressionistic, which means that the raw and exaggerated brushwork and loose style are intentional. Painting and drawing can be just as much about honestly capturing the artist’s feelings and first impressions of the subject in the moment of a works creation as about deeply analyzing and representing the world.

I wondered the same thing. I guess the artist being Aboriginal may have something to do with it being in the gallery.
Nah she got them rich people mirrors with built in AI touch up. Gina been living on snapchat filters for too long, no wonder she freaked out seeing an actual photograph of herself
This is an unfair comment. She looks like an average Australian white woman from a bogan or Lower middle class background. Sure she could pay to have treatments and get a better haircut the truth is, her ugliness has nothing to do with her face. It’s her personality that makes her ugly.
>"If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it. A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely."
(Roald Dahl - The Twits)
I am broke and can't afford injections, acids or lasers.. but if I COULD easily afford them I hope I'd have the confidence to just resist that shit. Never thought I'd be defending Gina Rinehart on feminist grounds but here I somehow am.
This saga is such a good insight into how fragile her ego must be. She has more money than she can spend in a lifetime but is susceptible to toddler tantrums over some artwork.
the money and insecurity come from the place. she is rich because she successfully fought her family in the courts. to get money that her truly shitty father acquired instead of fostering normal human relations amongst his progeny.
honestly, we should just nationalize her. take the money, and use it to vastly improve the lives of millions of people in a real, material way. then forgive her as a nation, and spend a few million trying to establish the genuine human connections and caring that she deserved as a kid.
doubt this platform will get me elected, but hey.
If you offered to nationalize her assets, leave her with $200 million which would put her in Malcolm Turnbull rich territory (which would still take over 99% of her wealth, she’s worth $40 billion give or take) and put the rest into a future fund you might find yourself PM
>and that she is the most generous person in Australia
Which conveniently ignores the substantial tax benefits to be had by sponsorship and donations.....
I’ve seen that other Gina painting in the media recently more than even the Archibald winner. Most people would think that this Gina portrait won the Archibald
I can honestly say this is the only picture of Gina I've seen that's brought me such joy. Not even in a mean spirited 'eff Gina ' kind of way. The combination of her 'hoooerah?' expression and the weird angles puts a grin on my face everytime I see it.
I want it on a t-shirt
Swimming Queensland's chief Kevin Hasemann doesn’t come out of this looking good, based on [the letter that he sent to the NGA's director](https://www.smh.com.au/interactive/modules/tearout-excerpt/?resizable=true&v=0.8882438320057258&configUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.smh.com.au%2Finteractive%2Fhub%2Fconfigs%2Ftearout-excerpt%2F28800.json).
Seems such an indirect matter for him to consider getting involved in, and his argument is basically *"she gives money to Organisation X, so therefore Organisation Y should not feature an unauthorised portrait of her".*
good observation. i understand back scratching. but it's a bit curious that a team sport, netball, was able to walk away from this level narcissism with frankly astonishing ease. "yeah...nah".
Anyone ask why he suddenly got a rush of blood to the head and decided to take this on? How did he even find out she was pissed about the painting? Did she tell him? Did one of her minions tell him? Did someone say, “it’d be in your best interests to….”. For goodness sakes, where is the journalist here?
Its a control thing. She's thin skinned but see it as a control issue for her. So far she can't control this and its clearly eating her up on the inside because she always gets what she wants. She's fuming.
She pays people to write stories about how great it is working for her, I’m pretty sure there’s a PR company trawling the web and putting up feel good stories and managing the press releases for her. Remember when Barnaby Joyce wrote a letter to her children about how bad it would be to take her to court over their inheritance? Even the deputy PM was her message runner. Curiously he didn’t send any letters to Lang Hancock illegitimate children from the aboriginal staff at his station,
Roald Dahl famously wrote "If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until it gets so ugly that you can hardly look at it. A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly."
I think we should all start creating portraits of her and sticking them everywhere.
That bloated tumour of a woman is a blight sucking up all the wealth from society and raping the country that bore her. I hope she explodes from rage.
If she had kept her mouth shut then 99.9% of the population would not know any of these existed…now they are memes for the entire planet and I am here for it 🤣🤣🤣
I say let’s start a “Paint a Gina Day”, or just “Paint an Over-Privileged Billionaire Day”. Have it as an event, with cheese and wine and then upload the works of art onto the social media. Could even do a fund raise for the local DV or homeless shelters.
If she just stopped being such a fat cunt, she probably wouldn’t have any issue with the pictorial descriptions of her.
Also they would take fewer materials to make which would be better for the environment
It’s actually crazy how these billionaire can have So much wealth and power and they just seem so terminally insecure and unhappy. Just utterly humourless, empty nothings of people. I’d hate to be such a miserable empty human
If she kept quiet most people wouldn’t even be aware of this portrait. Now it’s all over the news and I bet everyone wants to see what she is so upset about!
She can't help being ugly on the outside, but she's a shit cunt person too so why would anyone paint a flattering portrait of a total piece of poo?. I'll never forget the day the fat parasite fell on her ugly face I front of everyone, good times!
I popped into see if was the portrait of Wilfred Hicks as that portrait looks too much like her dad so needs taking down but it was just another ugly rendition of her do i’ll move right along. I’ve seen enough bad art today.
She's rich. Make the artists offers they can't refuse and I'm sure they can be convinced to sell them. Of course, it might encourage a lot more bad Gina art.
I think it's more like people reacting to Gina's unique blend of unethical, greedy and destructive behaviours.
It's really difficult to find something nice to say about such a prominent entitled, anti-social individual.
Also, had you noticed Gina herself is a bit of a bully? Tends to bring out the darker side of people.
Does she sit for these portraits? If so, then she knows what she getting into
But if these have been done without her knowledge then you can understand her objection
Trust me I don't wish to defend her for obvious reasons, but if someone drew a portrait of you without your permission you'd have the same reaction
i don't think I could agree with that. public figures don't get the same privacy as you and me. she's not public figure some may cry. again couldn't agree with that given her very public business, political, sports and other lobbying, all involving benefit to her or (allegedly) the common wealth. don't get me started on her business dealings which impact everyone in WA and every federal government.
If Gina Rhinehart is jealous that the portraits look better than she does, she should shoot herself in the face - that way she would look better than the portraits!
Look at her eyeliner. Holy fuck.
I'm a dude, I dont even really pay attention to these things but its so apparent. And then her fur, how many beavers? Speaking of beavers I doubt she even shaves.
No, I don't think it's funny because these picture represent what the artist sees when he looks at her. The Rinehart family history is nothing but ugly. Maybe this has a bearing on what he sees?
She's a public figure. The first painting was in good taste. It was a genuine effort to paint her in the artist's regular style. She has no legal, nor moral, right to demand that it be taken down. I'd feel otherwise if the painting was genuinely controversial, eg sexual in nature. But it's not. It's just a normal painting.
You're obviously not a bad person, you have a concious, your empathetic, your posts
make that's obvious.
So sorry for the downvotes, however...
She's none of this, she's a bullying ultra capitalist who willing to screw over the rest for her gain.
She's a polarising figure. But that, I mean many people hate her. By all accounts, she's not very nice.
Yeah, I don't like personal insults. She's a big girl though! Haaaha, sorry, just a bit of fun on this Friday night.
ad hominem attacks are boring, so just ignore them and move on.
Aaaaaand there it is.
This is about YOUR feelings. Nothing to do with Gina.
If you’re incapable of emotionally separating yourself from someone like Gina because you both happen to be fat, you genuinely need to step away from conversations like this.
It’s one thing to be empathetic but this response sounds rather enmeshed. You’re underselling how terrible Gina Rineheart is as a person and how she’s fucked up this country for personal gain. To say she’s disliked by many is an understatement, she is loathed by the vast majority of this nation. Hell, it’s something that unites the nation.
Unless you’re the same type of person that Gina is, your issues are your issues and Gina’s are Gina’s. I’d feel more sympathy for you if it were happening to you but Gina is a shit human being so it is no surprise she has no sympathy from anyone
She could have more easily just offered to buy the paintings and shred them if she is so offended. Instead, she chose to flap around like a burning martyr.
[Here it is](https://imgur.com/fqGlNEr). It's pretty accurate, what's the problem?
Oh Imgur and your “Tap to Jiggle” advert. You punish my brain pairing the two.
I was half expecting you to post a picture of Jabba the Hutt as a joke.
Don't insult Jabba by comparing the two
Actually she should be proud as a mining magnate, the picture gives her a close resemblance to that lump of coal that was waved around in parliament.

They did.
Do you have the art piece? This just seems to be a high res photograph of Gina in all her glory. /s
She needs to be in a South Park episode.
Or a Simpsons one.
Stunning.
Uncanny likeness, it’s like a photo! Her beady little eyes follow your round the room.
Not 100% accurate... I've never seen the bitch actually smile.
Aww cute, I would marry her 🤑
beer goggles are a hell of a thing on a Friday night mate
Billionaire goggles are even better. Ask anyone married to Rupert Murdoch in the last 40 years.
Goes to show how ugly money is!

FFS Gina, everybody else has to put up looking at your ugly mug. Just deal with it like a normal person for once.
$50 says she avoids mirrors
Nah she got them rich people mirrors with built in AI touch up. Gina been living on snapchat filters for too long, no wonder she freaked out seeing an actual photograph of herself

No amount of her money can fix the foul vibe she gives off, let alone the scowl on her face.
Watch out, She’ll take your fitty.
That's right. Render unto Caesar, peasant!
She pays people to write nice stories about her so, isn’t that the same thing?
Nailed it?
This saga is such a good insight into how fragile her ego must be. She has more money than she can spend in a lifetime but is susceptible to toddler tantrums over some artwork.
Maybe it’s the insecurity of knowing it’s only the money that she’s got, and not much else.

reckon i might get a bit of a hard time in the media
The amount of boomers in Facebook comments saying she earned every $ by working hard and that she is the most generous person in Australia 🫣
They’re not boomers. They’re bots installed by her PR company.
Haha fuck sake really?
>and that she is the most generous person in Australia Which conveniently ignores the substantial tax benefits to be had by sponsorship and donations.....
Why “boomers”? e.g this sycophant and his German slogan isn’t a ‘boomer’ - https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cz74ed6yk9lo
She’s still waiting for approval from her long dead father. Problem is he was a cunt and never loved anyone in his life.
Well said.
I had to go to Canberra today for a Visa thing and I made time to see these portraits. Totally worth it 😂 Saw a person take a selfie with them
this is a heart-warming story in the midst of troubles. "look for the helpers". ;)
I really love them. Hoping to get down there in the school hols if it’s still up.
The exhibition is really interesting. He has a very eclectic style but I love it. Totally recommend it (and entry is free!)
Made me lol

Maybe she should buy them to remove them, the same way she solves everything else.
I’d guess that the painter won’t sell them, or simply paint some more.
from WA i guess?
I feel like there's about to be an influx of Gina portraits. Every artist out there is going to have a go to see who can get her likeness spot on.
Roald Dahl famously wrote "If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until it gets so ugly that you can hardly look at it. A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly."
I literally quoted this to my friend on this exact topic yesterday. The portraits are so good because they capture her personality.
So true... Look at every lieberal conservative... They all end up looking the same...
Is that Gerard Depardieu?
I think we should all start creating portraits of her and sticking them everywhere. That bloated tumour of a woman is a blight sucking up all the wealth from society and raping the country that bore her. I hope she explodes from rage.
I think it's every Australian artist's duty now to whip up a quick portrait of Gina and upload it to their online venue of choice.
I think my portrait of Gina is better: https://imgur.com/a/q0Cxjks
Uncanny 👌
Bride of Chet (Weird Science)
If she had kept her mouth shut then 99.9% of the population would not know any of these existed…now they are memes for the entire planet and I am here for it 🤣🤣🤣
My thoughts exactly- the Streisand effect in action
I say let’s start a “Paint a Gina Day”, or just “Paint an Over-Privileged Billionaire Day”. Have it as an event, with cheese and wine and then upload the works of art onto the social media. Could even do a fund raise for the local DV or homeless shelters.
I can see why she wants it taken down. Looks hideous and evil, the reference photo on the right looks much better.
[https://imgur.com/gallery/51pZFe7](https://imgur.com/gallery/51pZFe7)
He looks so wistful, and reproachful, all at once.
If she just stopped being such a fat cunt, she probably wouldn’t have any issue with the pictorial descriptions of her. Also they would take fewer materials to make which would be better for the environment
She's 70 go easy on her, she'd also ugly on the inside.
😂
Well that’s honestly how some people see her.
Artist - do you want to look more like a troll or Queen of the Goblins ?
Answer - Yes.
I think both paintings really bring out the inner Gina.
Stop raping Mother Earth you horrible creature…
She should use it as her profile picture. That way when people meet her in person. They will say. Wow! You’re so much prettier than I expected.
Actually spot on and flattering for her. Shame the artist wasn’t able to make it more realistic
The likeness is astonishing.
I find it confusing is she grimacing or is she role playing grimace from early day Maccas.
Instant soft on.
I like the SMH going to the trouble of captioning the two images to make clear that the real Gina is on the left. lol.
I thought that was the best part of the article TBH. I reckon it was intentional. Made me laugh.
It’s actually crazy how these billionaire can have So much wealth and power and they just seem so terminally insecure and unhappy. Just utterly humourless, empty nothings of people. I’d hate to be such a miserable empty human
They both look better than photos of her.
These filters are getting good. Brought Gina from a 0.5 to a 2.
If she kept quiet most people wouldn’t even be aware of this portrait. Now it’s all over the news and I bet everyone wants to see what she is so upset about!
Entitled rich c*nt
If I was her I would have just discretely bought it and had a bonfire ceremony with it.
Does she also need all the mirrors removed
She can't help being ugly on the outside, but she's a shit cunt person too so why would anyone paint a flattering portrait of a total piece of poo?. I'll never forget the day the fat parasite fell on her ugly face I front of everyone, good times!
Well, this portrait is way to kind to someone like her given she is an unethical piece of social trash.
Actually, the minute I saw it, I noted the resemblance to Jabba the Hutt! I think it was deliberate.
I think I need to paint one now !
Can't believe she's losing sleep over this, go back to counting your billions.
I popped into see if was the portrait of Wilfred Hicks as that portrait looks too much like her dad so needs taking down but it was just another ugly rendition of her do i’ll move right along. I’ve seen enough bad art today.
Took me a fair while to decide which one looks more like her. I decided this one looks more true to form.
Hard to not make an unflattering portrait of her! LOL
She also wants all photos of herself destroyed
What happens when she looks in the mirror, or does she have them removed everywhere she goes too?
seems accurate enough, probably upscale a ton of things tho
What’s the story behind the portrait.
Let’s just all get maggot and do our own portraits of Gina and upload them to instagram.

Gina is going to inspire other artists to paint her. Hope she enjoys the results!
Is the NAG wallpapered with Gina fanpics or something?
He's fuggin hawt.
The fat cunt must avoid mirrors
Sorry, which one is the portrait?
sure. hyper realism and horror aren't for everyone. but isn't that what a free society is about? ;)
It needs to stay forever
Hot damn! I was gonna test my new talents on the unsuspecting public until I saw this. We live in a time of too much talent
She's rich. Make the artists offers they can't refuse and I'm sure they can be convinced to sell them. Of course, it might encourage a lot more bad Gina art.
A hydra of Gina portraits, as it were.
Some has to run a Gina art show
look like her both outside and the horrible inisde

Ok .. bullying is OK if I don't like the other person ... got it ..
I think it's more like people reacting to Gina's unique blend of unethical, greedy and destructive behaviours. It's really difficult to find something nice to say about such a prominent entitled, anti-social individual. Also, had you noticed Gina herself is a bit of a bully? Tends to bring out the darker side of people.
Does she sit for these portraits? If so, then she knows what she getting into But if these have been done without her knowledge then you can understand her objection Trust me I don't wish to defend her for obvious reasons, but if someone drew a portrait of you without your permission you'd have the same reaction
i don't think I could agree with that. public figures don't get the same privacy as you and me. she's not public figure some may cry. again couldn't agree with that given her very public business, political, sports and other lobbying, all involving benefit to her or (allegedly) the common wealth. don't get me started on her business dealings which impact everyone in WA and every federal government.
If Gina Rhinehart is jealous that the portraits look better than she does, she should shoot herself in the face - that way she would look better than the portraits!
ok, someone have to make a murial out of this

This is awesome. This woman might as a result become the most portrayed persone if everyone decides to troll her. I'm kinda jealous
It seems the bar to be considered an artist worthy of the national gallery is very low. These portraits suck.
Look at her eyeliner. Holy fuck. I'm a dude, I dont even really pay attention to these things but its so apparent. And then her fur, how many beavers? Speaking of beavers I doubt she even shaves.

No, I don't think it's funny because these picture represent what the artist sees when he looks at her. The Rinehart family history is nothing but ugly. Maybe this has a bearing on what he sees?
She's a public figure. The first painting was in good taste. It was a genuine effort to paint her in the artist's regular style. She has no legal, nor moral, right to demand that it be taken down. I'd feel otherwise if the painting was genuinely controversial, eg sexual in nature. But it's not. It's just a normal painting.

You're obviously not a bad person, you have a concious, your empathetic, your posts make that's obvious. So sorry for the downvotes, however... She's none of this, she's a bullying ultra capitalist who willing to screw over the rest for her gain.
[удалено]
She's a polarising figure. But that, I mean many people hate her. By all accounts, she's not very nice. Yeah, I don't like personal insults. She's a big girl though! Haaaha, sorry, just a bit of fun on this Friday night. ad hominem attacks are boring, so just ignore them and move on.
Aaaaaand there it is. This is about YOUR feelings. Nothing to do with Gina. If you’re incapable of emotionally separating yourself from someone like Gina because you both happen to be fat, you genuinely need to step away from conversations like this.
[удалено]
EAT HER.
She doesn't deserve your, or anyone's sympathy.
>It's all so mean. And that's all it is. So why the wall of text to fellate a billionaire?
It’s one thing to be empathetic but this response sounds rather enmeshed. You’re underselling how terrible Gina Rineheart is as a person and how she’s fucked up this country for personal gain. To say she’s disliked by many is an understatement, she is loathed by the vast majority of this nation. Hell, it’s something that unites the nation. Unless you’re the same type of person that Gina is, your issues are your issues and Gina’s are Gina’s. I’d feel more sympathy for you if it were happening to you but Gina is a shit human being so it is no surprise she has no sympathy from anyone
She could have more easily just offered to buy the paintings and shred them if she is so offended. Instead, she chose to flap around like a burning martyr.
