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:

Hunter does NOT care what art critics say, the CCP will step in and buy them, we ALL KNOW how this works!!
Now that he’s president, I wonder what Joe’s cut is. 10% was the VP rate. He’s gotta get a lot more than that now.
I wonder if Hunter paints these himself, or someone does it for him.

A good investigative journalist would go after this like a hungry bulldog would go after a piece of meat.
Unfortunately, there are no more investigative journalists.
Lawdy. My mom and sis are professional artists. This looks like “paint by #s”.
He paints “inside the lines” pretty well, on that trash.
I visited his site. His work is very good.
“High-priced” and “Terrible.” What great “meta” names for abstract art pieces! It’s genius! Can’t wait to click on the link and maybe see them.
Yeah, but do they paint high on cocaine? Hard to stay within the lines, and sometimes hard to read the numbers. 🤣🤣🤣
Just love the folks going on record.
That’s why he wants so much for them. 🤣
They work in watercolor. Ain’t no “lines”. 😁
I am so ashamed
Bidens are grotesque
I also took a look. Agreed. Not bad. Looks like some Beatles album artwork.
“Yellow Submarine” for example.
Of course they sucks. Just a way for the Chicomms to legally funnell money to the Biden clan.
👍
It’s not about the art...it’s just a way to launder money to the Biden Crime Family.
Crack addict makes good
It makes you wonder what’s on the other side of the painting
Actually better than the crack addict’s work
