Artist Statement

Statement. In practice At regular intervals, without change of the various contrasts indicated by a stencil, paints in this work were laminated onto separate canvases, with all of their reality and individuality. Demonstrated here are that humans often anthropomorphize animals, so we get them inverted, thus:-- LD-GB !ZJ LD-RO IZi 3ds Here the mode is changed and the paintings that were collected from graveyards in the Central Valley, as a number, use zero as a psychoactive force; it is composed, in the same studio space (to the right or to the right end of time as detached, regimented), and a romantic view of this Rhythm might be taken at the service of the mechanical aspects of the media portrayed this period. The memory of another line, which is inevitable in 'Canadian' images which are carefully rendered from observation; the preceding work had reached this stage where both Time and physical space (of dreams and oblivion), where the addiction/obsession of cigar smoke--from Duchamp, Philip Guston, and Sidney Tillim, all figurative painters, were among those who made the strongest impression on me, voit grimper une échelle et disparaître dans la salle d'exposition, tout ce processus de création peuvent être parcourus normalement et lus du début à la poésie d'un champ de blé. Les toiles de grand format deviennent des figures récurrentes.

Wait what? What did you just read?

I ask myself the same thing after I read a lot of real-life artist statements too similar to the above.

You Can Draw These From a Hat Because It's All Farce

It's okay. It's supposed to be farce. Exactly like too much similar writing about art is not--not intentionally anyway.

Folks have studied and named the fugly beast which is such writing. It is International Art English, or IAE.

Good and Bad Artist Statements

A good artist statement may be:

• Optional: if it is better that there is no statement, please make none
• Clear and accessible
• Usefully informative or descriptive of the art in away that may not be obvious to the observer, but which improves their experience or appreciation of the work upon learning.

A bad artist statement probably:

• Lacks any of those qualities
• Is conceived for any of countless bad reasons which all artists should say no to
• Perhaps at worst profanely anoints and separates The Opaqueonaut: in reality the artist turned fool, but too few people see the emperor's clothes

How This Works

This page randomly selects and serves pre-generated farcical artist statements, many of which were created with computer assistance; for example by statistical sentence recombobulation: training an AI on actual IAE, then having it gurgitate similar stuff.

The statements, being AI-generated, are by nature (and if human-created, by dedication) in the Public Domain.

This page doubles as an API. To get a plain-text statement without this explanation, call the page with any GET variable declared, like this:
