When he steps back and looks at the canvas like it actually matters where he puts the next dot
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
He literally taps a wall with paint.
And then makes bank
It’s even worse than a magic eye poster
Nice to see the man do some of the work himself
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?
I think these are very good- at the same time i'm smiling imagining him sitting in a makeup chair before filming as a very elegant and beautiful makeup artist carefully applies the fake accidental paint spots to his recently exfoliated mug
Such a talent to actually act like they are making masterpiece here.
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.
Now this is what we called an overpriced crap lol
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 👌
Artists In 1500: *examines dead bodies*
Artists In 2020: *Taps on a wall with colors*
One of the greatest -money launderers- artists alive.
😁😁😁
😅 l ah l am not saying ANYTHING
Man if only give me 20 seconds in that room with a flamethrower
😁😁😁
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.
Oh how I dream of a studio that size.
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...
ayo the polka dot dude from suicide squad would love this shit
too bad he only kills like 3 people his power is so OP
I can't tell you how many times I've told my beginners when they started poking the canvas with the brush, 'don't stipple.'
What’s wrong with stippling?
I love a good stipple.
Bruh I can draw dots on a giant canvas too where are my millions
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?
He knows how to make money. Thank you for sharing !
Thank you for the camera moves, I love the close-up’s and priceless anecdote when the artist vanishes between canvases.
Art is a form of self love.. ur the audience of ur own art, some may like it and some may not.. So lucky for him he knows “HOW TO SELL IT”.. so in this case it’s inspiring
As they get old all of them turn to painting but realizing painting takes time and effort and pays after long time if it ever pays you at all.
Damien First = proving that over rich fools have no taste.
They have taste adrenochrome /
I like smarties and I like painting, but I don't like pretentiousness.
Damn dude really tricked people into this lol I mean it looks decent I guess in a strange way but anyone could do it.
Colourful
It literally looks like someone took their chewed gum and put it on a canvas. And they chewed a lot of gum!
How is putting a bunch of dotes on the wall art? That's something a child does when they when they discover paint for the first time.
So productive..i like this trick.. !!
very rad pollock like indeed... nice work Damo... I love it...
Im 99%sure he cant even tell his paintings apart. I could go in there and replace every single one with ones i make and he wouldnt notice.
😁😁😁
dude litrally anyone can do that
Then why aren’t you?
Incredible how he can use so much paint and make so many dot paintings and they still amount to absolutely nothing
These works of Damien Hirst really change from others with animals. But that's not my style, he just puts multiple colors in a frame.
Love how at 3:16 it pans to some real art then just goes back to dots. Dude has a good color pallet sure... the most interesting one to me was the one where its got a lot of red and green that blend and white and black some how it works and I suppose thats impressive... but it looks like someone took a shit ton of gum and stuck it on a canvas without much rhyme or reason... one piece like this might speak volumes more than a couple and the over saturation is obvious and the repetition is boring and painful with lack of real creativity or much actual thought provoking elements to actually retain any interest you had in the first place the monotony of this work is just hard to deal with almost. I hardly even understand especially when he says its not about the money lmfao the only reason I could do this shit work and possibly be proud of it is the bullshit praise and recognition it garnishes. Rant over
Yeah, its not even his own color palette, literally zero originality in these pieces
I am currently painting my kitchen cabinets with Sherwin and Williams Emerald Paint and trying to avoid brush marks....I have a deep desire and urge to 320 grit sandpaper that canvas.
Has he gone mad? If I had as much $$$ as he does. I certainly wouldn't spend all day painting dots.
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.
Why buy such expensive paintings when you can diy
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. !!
I have no clue why, but I like it
Looks like that wall of used gum..
This is the richest artist in the world ? 🤨
To even consider this man an artist is an insult to art
Love your pants! 4:02
trabalho lindo
His paintings are like writing a poem only consisting of fullstops.
Not even nothing!
I would prefef an empty canvas to this, because I can do stuff with an empty one.
3:21 “ and this piece is called. “Life, The things we humans take for granted may be the very things that save us”
This is all he is capable off. Little better than finger painting. Where is his spinning paint pictures. Used to get those at the fair.
We are looking at a production line of narcissism.
I like these aha
Yayoi Kusama looking for this...
Cool
What does a piece $ell 4 ???..
He had a thing with 9 beetles in it and it was 20k to 30k ,useless garbage
2:03 that move....
That's what I call a flow state
I have never really understood the interest in Damien Hurst, his works are quite simplistic with little thought, but good luck to him. But when you have made a name for yourself you get complacent and believe even though the shit before sold and there was a furor around it that even worse shit will now sell. If people are still happy to pay £Ms for it so be it. To try to shock a public to gain notoriety. It would be no different to me placing peoples heads on stakes with various expressions, laughter, sadness etc on their faces and passing it off as art.
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
his art is really abstract and i don't really know what to think about it, technically it's just a frame full of dots of different colors. anyone could do that and somehow, it's still getting attention even tho it's repetitive. i don't really like his art and don't understand it
Once it's finished, he's going to cut it in two and put the pieces in tanks of formaldehyde.
Good to keep yourself busy i say
A master at work! Dali would be thrilled!
Lol
@Joseph Bethnal !
Painting without any music
WOW!!!!
“Can you tell what it is yet” 😂
He is Jackson Pollock but in patience mode on
I was thinking...if he could put in outlines of some heads, birds, animals etc. it could look pretty nice...can I have some cash for the idea? :-)
No one but the artist will ever know just what importance each brush mark of paint will have on the final effect, but it does matter greatly to him as painting is an experience and not just the product which is merely a documentation of the experience. The very first stroke is likely covered up by more, but without it, the painting would never have been actualized.
What paint is he using? Clearly not oils. Acrylics, I guess?
Wait, I've seen this guy before. What was his name again? Kicking the art with his feet...
aaaaaaaaaaaahh, I know it now: MOURINHO
I mean does anyone look at these paintings and interpret something into it or what? Whats the whole point in stuffing money up his butt for just some dots on the frames?
Laughing all the way to his next million….
Stewart Fersina got the Yorkshire conservatory business sorted so he went into art.
Caution - bricklayer at work!
Art . 🎨 dots on Canvas
Could AI do this work, yes, would it have the same level of meaning, also yes!
They're not bad in a way but on balance I prefer the dead fish.
hello here
I can do the same work for half of the price :) Hey it's honest work!
this must be the SMARTEST livin artist - he can figured out a style where u can MASS PRODUCE probably 10 pieaces a DAY! and sell each for god knows how many thousands! he jus pushes dots lol
There'se a word for this in Spanish: hamparte.
The future of humanity isn't looking promising
😁😁😁
I pissed on a canvas pls buy it starting price 50 grand
All marketing !!!!
It’s okay. There are many weekend hobbyists who could do what he’s done here. I think the paintings would be more interesting with a wider variation in brushstroke. Or he could try a glazing medium to create a greater degree of depth.
lol there is so much depth already in the patterns and colours that the dots create
maybe you should try it
oh dear...
a bunch of ppl who can’t afford shit comment on shit like this it’s sad. Keep it pushing. Let’s see you do it I’ll buy it for cheap
Wow
All he does is put it paint everywhere randomly nothing special what the hell am I missing here ??
A canvas of pallete
Can he paint anything else than DOTS !! Dot dot dot ....dot...
Beautiful.
Hamparte
It wouldn't work on small canvas,s , must be great to afford large canvas large studio space to work,
Seems like he is taking a leaf out of Hockney book. Both highly overated.
While there is absolutely no Intellectual or Spiritual or philosophical meaning in these. The colors are at least Happy. Happy colors...
#hamparte
Ishihara chart dupes
EXACTLY ! Nothin new in te state of Israel . . .
"Modern Art" is just f---ing sad..
these comments are sad. these pieces are massive and clearly abstract. his color palette is amazing, and each piece is so rich in texture and pattern.... better yet he's happy
All the people commenting here with absolutely no clue. Maybe that’s why he’s worth 300M and you don’t
Plegerised from pointlist
It’s ugly
True
So many haters up in here. Yes it is dots. And the comments like I can paint dots where is my Millions? You didn't make the goddamn painting. You didn't do anything except post a snide comment on UA-cam.
okay so it's still shitty art💀💀
Bro he’s just smearing paint
A blind three-year-old could do this.
im pretty sure i could do that...
Fraud .
Hella moist
Really? Pointless pointillism.. ...
