Damien Hirst: Veil Paintings | Artist Spotlight | Gagosian 

I love how you say that like it’s impressive🤣 “if you look closely you can see he’s actually trying”

@@ghost123g3 no

@@N.N01 yeah lmao

I am pretty sure he makes money by other illegal sources and painting is just a show to hide what's underneath

I was just thinking this myself

So naive, that is just for the video.

@@pipioloes1908 these paintings, while not great, are actually all hirst’s hand.

Right? Most million dollar artists are really project managers, not labourers

@@bskelto How do you know?

And then makes bank

It’s even worse than a magic eye poster

He seems to be laughing and pinching himself to the bank. He doesn't seem to have that illusion of pretend grandeur thinking what he makes are masterpieces.

@@igloozoo3771 even if he is satire it still dosent make up for the fact that this dude makes millions off of fucking dots

@@blucka98 I guess it is difficult to define a masterpiece. Is it based on commercial mass success or is it determined by the opinions of a handful or righteous elites who puts the price of art. Something is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it. But then that still doesn't necessarily make it a masterpiece. Jeff Koons Popeye Statute for example that Steve Wynn purchased for $28 million. Is that a masterpiece?

@@igloozoo3771 i see your point, but the thing about the statue is that someone with special talent can make that, and it actually took effort to conceive. now that doesn’t necessarily make the piece worth 28 million dollars, and it certainly doesn’t make it a masterpiece, but a true “masterpiece” is really only subjective to certain people, I could look at, say, jackson pollock’s work and think that anyone could make something like that, while another person could look at it and define a meaning behind it. The thing with this guys work is that it’s objectively shit, i mean, in the sense that everyone looks at his art and thinks its shit, not just how some people look at pollock’s art and think its shit while others don’t. Really, the people that bought his work for so much money really only bought it because they can and all their money is burning a hole through their pockets, not because they see a meaning behind his “art”. So really i think him, and anyone who buys his works are just pretentious, and any “meaning” you can dig up for his pieces isn’t what he intended to say, this dude just puts colourful dots on a page with no rhyme or reason because he knows some rich douchebag out there is gonna buy them

@@blucka98 I think some pop art like the works of Andy Warhol and Damien Hurst is deliberate to question what a masterpiece is like what we are doing here. It is also mass appeal cause it make people think...."Hey, I can do that" but once they try...the supposedly simple art isn't so simple to replicate after all. That being said, I think a true masterpiece makes one believe in the existence of a higher power or higher state of being because it is difficult to conceive humans merely evolved from animals and can create such transcending beauty. This is why we are shocked by child singers like Jackie Evancho.

As they say a fool and his money are easily parted. Unfortunately nothing these days in any field compares to the masters of old, art, literature, Sport, music, cars, people are quite happy to accept poor to average and pass it off as world class or genius, lol.

@@sc4344 snobbery.

Well he's worth a lot more than probably every single person who commented on this video combined...so who's the bigger fool...🤣👊👌

@@dinogibbliato7383 clearly us. The government told us not to scam, but look at this dude making millions with garbage art anyone would do for 2 dollars at most then selling them for millions. I got to get in this business

@@Iarkcitarp if you believe the government doesn't scam people...🙄🤣 Politicians lie more than anybody 👌

😁😁😁

😅 l ah l am not saying ANYTHING

😁😁😁

It would probably result in better art than any single art piece Damien Hirst has ever made

I will help you 🙂

Oooooooo bitter

That sounds exactly like the sort of thing Damien Hirst would do, and the empty room would end up selling for millions.

If you do modern art then i dream you never get a studio

@@aManWhoWantsEverything holy shit man u killed him

@@aManWhoWantsEverything you are stuck in the past with all that old sh*t, i bet...

too bad he only kills like 3 people his power is so OP

If you could do that, you would do that;)

@@dr.doppeldecker3832 Lol very true

@@dr.doppeldecker3832 bro you're so funny I ate my own eyes after reading your comment, keep up being funny

Congratulations

Who is stopping you?

What’s wrong with stippling?

I love a good stipple.

They have taste adrenochrome /

To even consider this man an artist is an insult to art

Then why aren’t you?

Money Laundering/Bubble

Absolutely ! Thats what even Picasso said: "If you are SO poor, that you can´t afford a collectíon of masterpiece-paintings, you just have to have the boldness to do it on your OWN". Thats SO F_CKING smart !! I am actually doing exactly t h i s - and never ever had so much FUN in my whole life. THANK YOU MSTER P. P. !!

True

😁😁😁

Yeah, its not even his own color palette, literally zero originality in these pieces

Lol

@Joseph Bethnal !

Well, you're obviously not an artist! It's not just dots, it's the accumulation of dots and the overall effect and how they blend together that matters here. :)

@@Garland67 I know all about pointillism and its antecedents in Poons, Close, etc, and this is merely random splotches centered around vague color-centric blobs, - stupid, aimless work devoid of structure and intellect.

@@markpx It's OK not to like it. I do though.

@@Garland67 Damien refrains from making any brush strokes and having a Vincent van Gogh effect on paint application with texture and vibrancy. A mess-merizing series indeed 🎨🌋

Painting dots is what keeps him rich.

He had a thing with 9 beetles in it and it was 20k to 30k ,useless garbage

😁😁😁

I would say that his work have a tremendous amount of thought put into them. His works are extremely powerful and thought provoking, and really tackle a lot of topics, especially life and death. The whole shock factor aspect was a huge part of the YBA movement, and was something that really forwarded contemporary art. I would also like to know why you think he is now making art just to sell, because surely being a rich and famous artist gives you even more of the freedom to make art that you really want to make because you don't have many financial worries.

what amazes me is that his body of work is totally incoherence and disconected. Other artist can do very different work yet you see some kind of personal vibe or line but in Damien Hirst's is completly without personality...

@@christianhaynes9981 stop.

@@christianhaynes9981 the only thought in his mind was: how can I make more money off this meaningless junk?

@@christianhaynes9981 oh yeah a bunch of dots on a canvas translates to life and death

lol there is so much depth already in the patterns and colours that the dots create

maybe you should try it

IRONY ?

okay so it's still shitty art💀💀

EXACTLY ! Nothin new in te state of Israel . . .
