Galley Hidden - Should STAY Hidden! What looks perfect on the website is amateur crap in person! Chicago Illinois
I love almost anything if it has to do with Joy Division or Ian Curtis, and my friends and family know this. So recently some serious money was spent on a gift I received-an Ian Curtis painting from a Chicago, Illinois gallery called "Gallery Hidden".
What I received was an amateurish piece of crap (see the horrid picture here). Yet another ripoff of Philippe Carly's photograph-but with spilt paint and body hair on it! I'm not kidding, curly black body hair stuck to it! I could have done much better myself, and haven't taken a day of art class!!! Friends have described the "painting" (and that's being generous) as a cross eyed Gary Numan in Jimi Henrix's shirt. Phillippe Carly would be sick if he saw this.
The artist calls himself EsQui. I contacted the gallery, not for a refund, but just for a possible exchange. I was given an arrogant explanation that the painting was intentionally left as is, and that you're SOL for trusting the (supposedly untouched) photo on the internet as my naive friends did. Their internet pictures are waaaaay off from what you will get if you waste your hard earned money on this junk.
So consider yourself warned!

I posted my report yesterday, and immediately emailed the photo to the website. I have no control of how long they take to add the picture here. Thank you for your patience.

...that the pictures would be posted. Every post that refers to photos never seems to have them.
