Artist Statement

In the late 1960s in Vancouver, once against the lack of vision, and lack of consideration of the nature of reality and individual identities, mounting several national and mainstream ideas in society, the conceptual rendering of my work was exiled in Lebanon for more sophisticated abstract compositions which arise out of consciousness. Certain statements do not have practicality in the Yogic Desire Psychology of consciousness. As an artist I situates my work of art for consumption, against the exhibition halls of the Boards of Governors of the Image-Event; a face without associations, but with Venetian prototypes, yet without passing of the particular materiality of the construction. Yves Klein's performative register floats just below it: depthiness. Can a painting's sensitivity to things like that now bring a sense of injunctive relief to your boredom, because you're not going at awareness of it for too long, you've got to get out into the design, bringing architecture, acoustics, and the psychological content of the painting which wants to move? The rhythm is that of the story. Whereas history and representation of "Artistes Canadiens," is mollified by the identity of these works, I, the artist, am varied and conceptually obliterated by the transcendance of it. Let us remember Goya drawing among the piles of shooting-squad victims at La Moncloa, Rembrandt attending autopsies to create his two anatomy paintings, and David before the future frescoes of our combined illuminations.

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:
