Audrey Hamilton Art

[Keggsy]

Here you go, I didn’t want to crap on Audrey’s business style because I think it works...as much as I disagree with how popular it is simply because of insta fame. Anyway, I thought she’d be reasonable and not bite my head off. I posted from my public artists page too.

Good on you for calling her out. Immediately went all defensive so you know you are right. Some amount of struggling artists out there and Audrey is raking it in

The boob paintings will be no more soon... Sophie Tea is moving in different direction with her paintings so I'm sure we'll see the same with this one soon

I think she’ll follow Sophie Tea’s lead and I do feel sorry for Sophie. She’s put in the work over the years

I was dying to pick up one of the pieces as I really do love her prints & have two myself - but 180 quid for the jumper!! That’s more expensive than the prints themselves

I dont understand why she needs so much of her personal life on her art page, defo a marketing strategy

Her post about how Jack Proposed is nothing short of a paragraph from Ross O Carroll Kelly books when his wife says how he proposed

Absolutely, it’s very disheartening, she’s inthe right places and knows the right people to help grow her business. Very fortunate and could always use her privilege to highlight other artists .... but that’s just taking away business. Well, probably not!!


That’s awful! I wonder who she did the conference with? Geez, they could at least get an art school graduate to give an honest full-circle perspective.

The conference was the Shona project afaik.

Just found this thread- thank you for pointing out the Sophie T comparison!! Deffo ripped her off, I’m also an artist and so infuriated by her!! It’s like if you market it well enough on the gram you can sell anything

So some sort of online conference or something has her speaking about art and how it is important for kids in school. Do these people not realize there are real artists out there struggling like hell and she’s just got in the game by her influencer friends. It’s an absolute disgrace if you ask me. Give the real artists a platform like that to promote themselves. Shocking

Same! I find it mad how much she sells…for example her latest piece. There are 100’s if not thousands of amazing artists who create original paintings…why why why buy from her. It’s not art she’s selling it’s her “brand”

You could go to any craft fair in the country and find original art and support good artists.
How has she gotten away with the mickey mouse one?

 

[Heygooooyyyyzzzzz]

I wasn’t in her year so couldn’t say too much about school but agree with her being in with the “cool gang” and not having much time for others. To be fair though my year was exactly the same, run by a Regina George and her minions as I like to say she is from a wealthy background from what I know. Again though, not unusual for that school.

I was looking at old posts and Audrey said she donated 50% of whatever the koala bear was called. She donated 20k so she made 20k herself off one painting?? No wonder they could afford to move recently!

I’ve set up a new account and I can’t say much for fear of outing myself but I went to the same school as Audrey and I also know of her husband. They both come from money and they both have always wanted fame. It was just a case of how they were going to get it.

Agree, drives me mad how animated she is on her stories. Unfortunately I do think that whole act is part of her success - being able to talk on camera etc. I'm a part time artist myself and wouldn't have the confidence to do that. I always thought it was way too convenient how she just fell into the art world, but of course having all those influencer friends helps too!! I think some of her art could be nice for kids, but the rest is so over hyped. I feel like she could upload a painting of anything and people would like 'omg so amazing, how do I buy this??' What the hell

She is definitely over-hyped, her work is nice and good enough but not to the scale she is selling it. She was in the right place, at the right time and with the right friends - I can’t believe the amount of prints she sells. It seems she painted ten pieces, got prints made and sells the shit out of them. I absolutely hate the new bum painting - it’s just so ugly and cartoonish, but the pastel brigade will keep her in business. She is stealing a lot of ideas from Sophie T who is another one churning them out to the influencers, but at least she is constantly creating new pieces. As an artist myself it’s very demotivating, getting prints made is expensive and she can afford to rent a studio and the marketing all within a year. Crazy. Maybe I’m envious but I also think the work isn’t all it’s made out to be. And the ‘hiii guyyyyysss’ is irritating.

 

[Streakytanz]

I feel so bad for her. Her style was the original and the ideas were definitely stolen by AHA and many others I’ve seen after them being named on this thread. It must be so hard for her to see other people steal her ideas. It’s so fairly unique that any copy is instantly recognizable like Audreys when she does her “original” pieces.

I agree, it sucks. Some people can imitate her style quite well and should credit her. Audrey’s latest boob piece is probably a mere scribble in Sophie’s sketch pad. Horrendously lazy work for the prices she charges.

She is totally pregnant right? Also.. What is with her obsession with her own arse.

I’m the same, I really like her prints, but I can’t justify €180 for jumper.

 

[Justhere4thegoss]

Has she never had her own ideas or does she just constantly rip off sophie tea?
I know art is subjective but audrey isnt good. The boob pic is shockingly bad. The body is just straight it has no form to it. Her newest piece is a complete copy of the work sophie did when she was stuck in a hotel in quarantine. Those pieces actually have meaning behind them and reflect what she went through.

 

[Keggsy]

Another pain of an insta hun selling clothes imported from China no doubt. Can’t stand her fakeness. Between herself and Crawford now I don’t know who is worse.

 

[Justhere4thegoss]

Anyone see the recent post about the Black Friday Sales for AHA…..

Im more surprised people buy her "art". Shes not good. Making a career from copying other artists

 

[rhill]

I’m sorry but “HIIIIIIIII GUYYYYYSSSSS” grinds my ears. Does my head in. But regardless I’m so angry at this situation. She’s no artistic experience at all and all of sudden she’s featured on Irish independent as a top artist in Ireland. I feel for all those artists who have put in years to get way they are. All she has is other influencers promoting her work and that’s why she’s famous. To be honest I’ve seen other artists work which far superior. All her and that one Georgie Crawford do is try to out do each other promoting themselves.

A clothing line did not see that coming from her!

Joining the VERY long list of instahuns that have launched a clothing range!! Will be v interesting to see how many are still around in a years time……..

Does Audrey have Botox or is she just young and blessed with amazing skin?

Unless she's a very intellectually advanced toddler, my money is on
