Damien Hirst - The Beautiful Paintings, by drbf on Sept 17, 2023 18:08:06 GMT 1, they might just be 'kinda ok' or 'quite pleasing to look at', a genuine signature on the front is definitely a bonus. Appears he chooses which colour pen to use depending on the outcome (sounds a bit aspirational to say 'work')

Some of them may look okay but I would be embarrassed to provide this to one of my "patrons". Hideous

Damien Hirst - The Beautiful Paintings, by Georgie Poppit on Sept 17, 2023 19:01:56 GMT 1, I saw them in person before deciding and thought they had the quality of something from a Costco in-store printing service. The fact they’re not created by the artist (in any way) was the deciding factor.

Damien Hirst - The Beautiful Paintings, by avec art on Sept 17, 2023 20:37:23 GMT 1, I thought we had this debate earlier on in the thread (too lazy to check). But DH had arranged for the programmers to create the algorithms and so on. So they're his idea and creation, he doesn't need to have physically made them for it to be his artwork.

Yeah, i really wanted to like them but the repro felt incredibly synthetic in the flesh, which was heightened by the fact they are digitally simulated 'organic' paint marks ... the large and x-large may look pretty decent behind glass with the right design tho |

isn’t it the same for the currency? Not to mention the print of the interns creation.
seascapes and coastal etc too? That’s why I didn’t buy I guess.

Damien Hirst - The Beautiful Paintings, by gus on Sept 17, 2023 21:58:35 GMT 1, I bought one, but think they all kind of suck. Not so much because they are Costco esque, but think they are just mostly garbage (think the same for the actual irl created spins). Fair enough thinking the quality sucks (probably does), but the “he didn’t create them at all” genuinely baffles me.

Yet people will buy a Signed giclee on paper or a dibond object with signed sticker on the back over a signed unique print on canvas, and for more. I think people forget that the artist helped create the concept by selecting the colours and styles etc.

I arranged a builder to build me a house, so actually it was my idea and creation. Just because I didn't physically build it doesn't mean it's not all my own work. Ha!

In fairness, it was those very patrons who helped design their own pieces online with the Spin Paintings algorithm.
This is what made The Beautiful Paintings conceptually interesting as a project.
Granted, however, the completed giclée canvases in tondo format were always going to be too kitsch and cheap-looking for me as well. Either that, or not kitsch and cheap-looking enough.

But regardless of how any of us feels about this recent artistic venture, it takes nothing away from the man's talent as an author and storyteller.
Trainspotting the original novel is just so much better than its 1996 film adaptation by Danny Boyle.

Apart from the signature on the front, they also appear to be authenticated by the fingerprints on the side!

Damien Hirst - The Beautiful Paintings, by Art Fan 2011 on Sept 21, 2023 12:13:58 GMT 1, It's still a "Damien Hirst"
It's still unique
It's still hand signed by Damien Hirst
Those 3 attributes alone make them worthy of their price tag

But you would have needed a designer and technician to get the House into a position where the builder is able to build it. You could be a collaborator, choosing colours, layouts, finishes etc, but the designer/ architect would ultimately receive the accreditation. Kind of like what happened with these |

Damien Hirst - The Beautiful Paintings, by kfroms on Oct 1, 2023 17:56:29 GMT 1, Got mine ( small, round ) yesterday and really happy.
The size is actually ok ( looked a bit small initially) , the print is nice, on a thick, solid frame and
they sorted the issue with the creases on the sides ( its now flat and perfect )
Nice red signature.
Happy days.
Pics follow when back home tomorrow.

Think these might do well on secondary too as they look decent in the online pictures ive seen as the cheap repro is less prevalent than when i saw them in the flesh at Heni...

Is "Fomo" the right expression there? I feel you can only get "fomo" before the release ... here we need something else, maybe:
"Fohmo", i.e. "Fear of having missed out" or
"Not-buyers remorse"

Fomo isn't reserved for pre release. Look at stonks or brypto etc. Lot of fomo in both. |

"Are these stool available?!"
"Created by computer and digitally printed - classy!" + Reply "packed and shipped by human"
"The richest living artist in the world, according to the UFC"
"Swap one for an NFT? 😂✌🏽"
