The painting is protected by glass, so no damage was done to the painting.
I read through way too many articles that failed to mention this important detail.
It wouldn’t be a big loss. That painting is ugly as hell.
I think it’s a terrific representation of the horrifically bloody history of the British Monarchy
Yeah, I don’t think it was meant to be pretty lol
Yeah, I know the artist said some other bullshit to justify this choice, but to me it just looks like the blood their wealth was built on.
I like it
I like it because it’s hella odd as shit. King, embrace the fuck-my-shit-up results of this glorious piece.
I can’t stop thinking about how someone got paid to make this painting.
He’s pretty famous for making portraits. Here’s his portrait of Idris Elba.
See, that isn’t ugly.
Which makes me think it was on purpose. Which makes me hate it a little less.
He has a lot of upper class clients who he paints just as … starkly as the king’s portrait.
It is very much on purpose.
Now that is a gorgeous balance of color and brush strokes. So why did the artist choose that awful color theme for Charles?
Right? Spit right in the royal families face and they pay you for the privilege. Priceless and hilarious
Philistine
Same shit that happens with every climate protest. “Climate protestors deface painting” etc.
It’s much less engaging this way.
I wouldn’t anger Count Vigo of Carpathia like that. Remember what happened the last time?
He got turned into Wallace. The titular character.
You really have to hand it to the British. They’re great at stuff like this.
Nice bit of Wensleydale with a protest, eh?
Improved it tbh.
Oh no! Some rich person’s pretty garbage was ridiculed!?
Heck off. I have real problems.
turned into wallace and gromit
so where’s the change?
He’s smarter and less evil now.
“Fancy some cheese?”
~~If it were something that could easily be removed I’d laugh
Since it appears to be a lot more permanent. Hopeful they do jail time for vandalism.don’t destroy artwork.~~
Edit : I’ve been told it its over glass. So in that case. Then it’s good for a laugh.
Jail time for nonviolent activism is excessive, and will probably motivate, not deter, more people to do the same.
Hmm nah. I am less likely to do something if I know it will result in me going to jail.
It’s over glass and ummm… I think it’s more important to first stop torturing animals and worry about the well being of inanimate objects later.
Is it? Ah in that case I’ll amend my comment.
Does “don’t destroy artwork” apply to people whi tear down statues of like Saddam or Mussolini? Or what about confederates or slave owner statues?
They used stickers. I doubt it’s super permanent by intention
Now THIS is pod racing!!!
“Give them a hefty jail sentence!!” - Conservative Party
It still looks like him, except happier.
I remember when you could go to an art museum and see pictures and sculptures of stuff. That was kinda nice.
