Tutorial

How to create artist statement on your behalf.

9/9/2021

 

How to create artist statement.

 An artist's statement is a document that introduces you as an artist. It explains why and how you create your art, along with other facts about you and your art. If you write well-organized document as a artist statement, it will to be very helpful, interesting, and adding greatly to understanding about your artworks and you. 
​

What  statements do
  • keep it short
  • grab the reader’s interest with the first sentence
  • introduce the author’s personality and enthusiasm
  • give a hint about the why of the artwork
  • use the first person (I, me, mine — this is not a strict rule, but it does seem to help the author write a more straightforward, readable statement)

 What an Artist’s Statement is NOT:
  1. Pomposity, writing a statement about your role in the world.
  2. Grandiose and empty expressions and clichés about your work and views.
  3. Technical and full of jargon.
  4. Long dissertations or explanations.
  5. Discourses on the materials and techniques you have employed.
  6. Poems or prosy writing.
  7. Folksy anecdotes about some important event in your life.
  8. Nothing about your childhood or family unless it is very relevant to your work.
  9. Not a brag fest or a press release.

  The most difficult part of becoming an artist was explaining myself and my work. It is relatively easy to explain each piece of work, but it is truly tiring to express the philosophical depth of the field of art itself with my life and to explain the existence value and meaning of my work from it. Above all, when writing an artist statement, talent for writing is required just like ability for drawing. But I don't think it's necessary to write like a good writer. Rather, I think that a concise but honest article is more effective than an article that is full of rhetoric and terminology but is difficult to understand and that I do not understand properly.
