Artist’s Statement Generator
Submitted by Gurney Journey
Next time your gallery dealer asks you for an Artist’s Statement, don’t despair. Instead of sweating over writing one yourself, just use this all-purpose Artist’s Statement Generator.
It’s easy! Choose a line from Column 1, a line from Column 2, and a line from Column 3, stick ‘em together, and you’ll mystify the best of them.
“My recent work is:
Column 1
An exploration of the irreducible act of mark-making…
An investigation of the mimetic process…
An excavation of the inheritance of the past…
A disquisition on our shared narratives…
Column 2
…which seeks to unravel the threads of visual discourse
…which delves into the connectedness of the real and the abstract
…which re-encodes ambiguity and authenticity
…which reveals the undercurrents of ritual
Column 3
…by creating a conversation between color and texture.”
…by disjunctively animating it through a process of mimicry.”
…by mediating clichés through a retro-nostalgic lens.”
…by alluding to tropes of the built environment.”
