Hunter Debuts 3 Pricey Paintings to Mixed Reviews: ‘High-Priced,’ ‘Terrible’
Breitbart ^ | April 7, 2023 | WENDELL HUSEBØ

Posted on 04/12/2023 2:16:56 PM PDT by lowbridge

About 50 people attended Hunter’s “Bridging the Abstract” exhibit at his art dealer’s Soho gallery, including art appreciators and critics. Those in attendance viewed the pricey paintings on sale for $85,000 each. The price of Hunter’s artwork has ranged between $75,000 to $500,000 throughout his short career.

One attendee who was permitted to view the art told the New York Post that Hunter’s newest works were “terrible.” “I think it’s terrible — the two on the right as you walk in,” said the man who refused to give his name.

Hunter’s newest works of art contrast his prior shapes and forms. Previously painting bright and flowing contours with shiny finishes, the style of Hunter’s recent art appears flat and motionless with geometric shapes that seem misplaced throughout the large canvases.

The stylistic departure raises questions of whether the novice artist is able to develop a recognizable form that will attract collectors.

A Georgetown-based collector, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of retribution, told Breitbart News in a statement that Hunter’s art is “close” to the style he appreciates but appears to be “from someone trying to find their style.”

“A lot of people are interested in his artwork,” he told the Post. “The very serious people in the art world are taking note of his work.”

In total, Hunter has anonymously sold about 12 paintings for less than $500,000, the Washington Post reported in January. It is unclear how much money Hunter’s art has generated, but estimates suggest he has earned at least five times more than the average American artist — all while being a novice painter.

The art industry is known for shady business transactions. A Senate subcommittee report detailed in 2020 how the art market serves as a vehicle for money laundering:

With a Hunter you are buying two things. One entry into the Biden Club. Two when the FBI shows up at your door you just show them your “Original Hunter”.

I thought that Hunter’s paintings would be priced in Yuan.

I have a friend who does work that’s very similar to those pictured on the NY Post Twitter link. If she can sell hers for $200 for that size (as originals), she’s doing great. This a-hole makes me very angry sometimes. It’s all bribery.

I have a acquaintance that sells his paintings in the range of $10,000.00 to $50,000.00 . He is a true artist, not some political hack- criminal money laundering drug addict.
The mans name is Leonard Wren if anyone want to see his work.

I wish I had a name like Biden. I’d love to make art for a living. It would be better than Hunter’s, certainly not anything really good.

Has anyone actually witnessed Hunter Biden paint one of his works of art?

Looks like Hunter has switched to LSD.

I wonder if Hunter’s art income will suddenly dry up as instantaneously as the Clinton charity donations did in November 2016

So Hunter’s paintings are terrible. So what? I bought one for $125,000. I’m bidding on a government contract, and I need access to the Big Guy.
In case anyone’s curious, here’s Hunter Biden painting I bought:

That self-portrait of the hunter and his dog is just plain weird!

Sex with animals?

The one on the right looks like it came out of a coloring book for adults.

(I apologize in advance for the grossness of this comment, and urge everyone to skip this comment, and move on to the next one.)

Speaking of Hunter, I wonder when they will get around to auctioning off that lap-topper's masterpiece.   Between the crack-piping, floozy-smooching, and the covid-19, this artist of the "Buythem" family ended up creating his acclaimed demonicrat masterpiece, when he sneezed on the canvas.
