I’m really confused on how the artist statement works.
The application said "Artist State ment (500 words) and underneath state: “The job of the artist is to always deepen the mystery” (Francis Bacon). Please discuss.
And I have no idea what to do with this, am I discussing this quote or am I stating my artist statement?
Either, what should I write about other than the generals??
Just google artist statement to see how to make one. There are lots of examples and simple questions to get you started.
Short, first person, why you make art, how you approach it, your thinking about what you might be trying to convey to the viewer.
Now tie what you do to (compare and contrast possibly) the Francis Bacon quote. (Francis did some really weird stuff by the way at least in my opinion).
