Communication is risky.
I have … intentions.

When I wrote personal relevance, I wasn’t asking for an artist statement, I saw a chance to communicate with someone.

isn’t the statement part of the work? Are paintings supposed to stand alone? Don’t we need context? Maybe if we are viewing the real thing but with reproductions it seems to me like we need some context.

Who gives a damn about the artist statement! A review is just that, a review of the work. The artist’s statement has no place in the review. It barely has a place at all. The author is dead man, dead I tell you…

I was drawn to the article by an rss with a photograph of the painting behind the pipe. I imagined it to be a studio photograph and was impressed at the way the artist had allowed the work to come forth from and exist in its environment.

Having read this article I am no less impressed and am bowled over by the really large painting. I want to examine it up close.

I don’t understand how I could be expected to divorce these works from the artist statement. Isn’t it about time the artist statement was included with any review of the work?

does your work hold much personal relevance? Do you “just” create or is there some kind of intention in your work?

Great review. Looking forward to seeing the show today with a group of adult collage students from the Educational Alliance Art School and other random art fans on our gallery walk. Best, Rich
