#artists statements

Every time I'm asked to write an artist's statement I write a first sentence like the archivist before I can get serious

Whilst I am assigning no blame I just wish we as a People were more literate about, loving of, and celebrative of our Selves and our Creations.

Baffled by words - the snobbery of hype #SundayBlogShare

“Artist statements? Mister Blobby’s work involves the throwing of custard (coloured paint filled) tarts at copies of old master paintings. Suggestion is that art is all about cash and the joke is on the collector. Much to the disappointment of the artist. The Artist who can’t help but make art.” —————— “Artist Statements? Mr Blobby’s work consists of using found pornographic imagery and censoring the action. With scratch and sniff filled golden circles over the genital areas. As a comment on the state of Capitalism and the prostitution of “our time for cash for food” mind set.” ——————

Make work that matters to you, that pushes you and the viewer to see the world in a new way. Make work that is in conversation with history, society, or with yourself. The Art in fine art Pho- tography is the most important piece of it all. Be bold and true to yourself.
