Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, has delivered a strong message to critics of his controversial art dealings.

Hunter had appeared Thursday, July 29, on art podcast "Nota Bene," where he told his critics of his art dealings: "F--- 'em," Fox News reported. Podcast hosts Nate Freeman and Benjamin Godsill broke into laughter and said, "that's a pretty good response."

The president's son has gained criticism after his paintings were reportedly priced between $75,000 and $500,000. Ethics experts expressed concerns over the matter as these prices are more typically seen for established and successful artists.

Hunter Biden lacks artistic experience and never received formal training in fine arts. Hunter told Freeman and Godsill that he was not involved in setting the prices of his art or how much it would be priced at.

The president son's noted that he would be amazed if his art would be sold for $10, "just because the first time you ever go about it is the idea someone is attracted to your art, let alone that they would pay something for it."

Hunter Biden said the price does not necessarily determine the value of an artist's work, CBS News reported. He noted that the price is completely subjective, adding that sometimes it has nothing to do with anything other than "the moment."

Hunter Biden further noted that he would also never know who will buy his paintings as he had that kind of arrangement. The president's son also quipped that he may be "the most famous artist in MAGA world."

Hunter Biden has two art shows scheduled later this year, with one in Los Angeles and a larger exhibition in New York. He will be given an opportunity to interact with possible buyers in New York.

Reactions on Hunter Biden's Artwork

A New York poet, art critic, and art curator, Geoffrey Young, told Politico that Hunter's paintings were way better that he thought they would be, but the price was still very high.

Young said the president's son is complexly famous but not yet for art. He added that people will pay for a known last name, Business Insider reported.

Meanwhile, national art critic Ben Davis had written how Hunter Biden should not be selling his work at all. Davis told Politico for a starting artist, Hunter's work is already selling at the equivalent of pieces in the top tier of what was thinkable.

Earlier, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said that Hunter will not be conversating related to selling his art as part of the agreement.

Psaki said she believes that it is a reasonable system that has been established, which allows the president's son to work within his profession with appropriate safeguards.

Hunter Biden also acknowledged in the podcast interview that his name had allowed him to make money from the artwork. He noted that it has been the unfair advantage of his whole life, adding that it was a lot easier to get noticed, not only by cops who pull over for speeding but also by the school, Independent reported.

George Bergès Gallery said that Hunter's creations will feature abstract works on canvas, yupo, paper, wood, and metal.
