HENI is delighted to present The Beautiful Paintings, the revolutionary new artwork from Damien Hirst that blurs the boundaries between digital and physical art creation using generative and machine learning algorithms. Marking the newest iteration of Hirst’s iconic ‘Spin Paintings’, known for their energetic splashes of colour, The Beautiful Paintings gives collectors the opportunity to choose their own combination of colours, styles, shapes, sizes, and mediums to generate unique artworks and titles.

Collectors have the option to generate the artwork either as a physical artwork, digital artwork (NFT), or both. The physical artworks are printed on canvas and are available in two shapes and four sizes. Each artwork in the series is unique and the physical artworks will be hand-signed with a paint pen on the front by Damien Hirst.

The Beautiful Paintings are available for a limited time only, from 31 March to 10 April at 23:59 PST.

Excuse my ignorance, but have any of his Heni editions done even vaguely well in the  secondary arena? I keep seeing tons of them not even achieve primary price.. 

[lukas01]

Some are fantastic!... I really like them. Unfortunately I can't afford it. 😔

It's a big shit time.

Best wishes to those lucky enough to buy and hang on the wall. 🤞

[slevin]

Prices are starting from $1,500 for a small, to $6000 for a large

[warsaw project]

Am i right in thinking we create the artwork and Hirst signs it ?!

If you buy to hang on the wall they are very nice and are signed anyway.

If some people buy to catapult... well... then they better not buy it.

Few artists are like Lin Felton (Quik), Richard Mirando (Seen) and Banksy!
Prices accessible to all. Why isn't it like this?

This would be a stunning addition to a Vape shop or Shisha Lounge...

However, the prices are high.
At least for me.

[Georgie Poppit]

Rather have one his spin etchings than these. I could see these being sold at the photo/printing shop in Asda.
Big no from me.

[nb71]

Time to send this to my colourblind friend... See what he creates

[bluebird1]

I appreciate that some work has gone into developing the data to generate these..

But perhaps we are through the looking glass here. Choosing my own colours and composition to then pay 1.5-6k only for DH to sign it doesn't really feel like I am buying anything from the artist apart from the signature

Lol couldn't agree more.

Could just buy this and get Damien to sign it...

Haha! Thats put me right off! Just imagining myself down snappy-snaps having a crack at it...

The fact he is willing to put his name on any old rubbish I decide on is a bit devaluing too.

Effort?... Eheheh, the rotary lever went by itself!... 1.5k/6k are too much even for a respectable signature.

[Newar]

would say well done Damien , always ahead in technology with art and how to maximize money.

LM + generative AI signed on giclée print canvas ....all unique

And watch the video till the end salesman !

[Wanchope]

Cool idea but hopefully people will learn from the empresses how this will play out if flipping !

[The Italian One]

it is like going out for dinner, cook your own meal and pay top dollars!!

a big NO.

We need to work together and stop buying this crap so the bar is raised. 

This isn't 'art' its an activity for rich housewives who can do it with their kids...  "On Saturday afternoon me and kids are going to make some Damien Hirsts for their rooms!... such a fun idea!" 

[Richy Rich]

I don't actually mind these. Not sure I'd buy one as it feels like paying a lot for someone to autograph your own design, but I'd still rather this to any of the dibond/mirror releases.

They've all done just fine, other than the very red and very glittery piece editions.. which I'm pretty sure are still worth more than they cost.

[pamplemousse]

Damo is certainly clever but the pricing seems way off. Perhaps to deter thousands being made?

Not sure how I feel about a digitally generated artwork and being charged £5750 for a large one. The Virtues were around £2250 and similar sizing... struggling with the 'is it good value for money' here. Having said that they will all be 1 of 1.

Also not a fan of stretched canvases, I see why they chose this to replicate a painting but an archival print on decent stock would be more detailed and look classier.

Will the meal be served on a Damien Hirst Spin Painting plate?

[mojo]

So basically you pay for a signature on a sliding scale of how big you want the picture to be and in your own choice of colours to match your curtains?

*the kids have a spin painting kit somewhere maybe I can find it and do budget versions...and I'll sign them.  Now that would be rare!
