Artist Statements


With so many artists around here, surely there are a few artists that can agree that writing an artist statement can be difficult or time consuming, what do you say? How do you keep it from being a boring or worse, a pretentious bio?

So in New York this June, at the Dead or Alive exhibit at the new Design Museum there was the above piece of work from Damien Hirst. And his artist statement read like this: "I love color. I feel inside me, it gives me a buzz." -DH.

Artists don't have to sound smart or go on and on about your education or why you did what you did. Thanks Damien for taking it down a notch!
