Gina Rinehart demands National Gallery of Australia remove her portrait
Streisand Effect, do your work!
Zagorath, 
Honestly it seems to just be the artist’s style.

Sounds like she’s just having a hissy fit.
Ilandar, 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).
Zagorath, Kinda reminds me of that messed up restoration of a painting of Jesus.
Ilandar, Or Mr Bean’s attempt at restoring Whistler’s Mother lol
(Okay maybe not that extreme…)
nightwatch_admin, 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.
WhiteShotgun, Bahahahahahahah bahahahahahaha it’s a perfect likeness what’s the concern here?
DeltaTangoLima, 
Yay for the Streisand Effect! Imma post this monthly now… https://reddrefuge.com/pictrs/image/3428de7b-7acb-4a20-b01d-ea9835cb4c31.png
unionagainstdhmo, 
Should we change this community’s banner image to be this image?
quicken, 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.
Peddlephile, I’d love to get prints from the artist to hang on my wall.
quicken, Gina has never heard of the Streisand effect. Let’s hope she never does
MargotRobbie, 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.
HappycamperNZ, 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
HappycamperNZ, it was the 80s 2000s
MargotRobbie, You are right! He totally would.
I wanted to at least win something this year, if not the Oscars…
CaptKoala, 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.
dumblederp, 
fuck Gina Rinehart.
TinyBreak, 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.

Im sure she’ll come up with an effective way to erase it from society and the internet.
Nath, 
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.
No1, 
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…
Auzy, 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, Luckily this portrait isn't "AI" generated or everyone would have to agree with her.
magnetosphere, 
Streisand Effect, do your work!
It already is
ivanafterall, 
This lady must hate those caricature artists on the boardwalk.
"HOW DARE YOU DRAW ME LIKE THAT. I LOOK NOTHING LIKE THAT!"
some_guy, How does she think this works? Fucking billionaires think they own the world.
Edit: let’s get a portrait of Lonnie in there.
Nath, I demand they keep it up. So there.
