An artist's statement (or artist statement) is an artist's written description of their work. The brief verbal representation is about and in support of, his or her own work to give the viewer understanding. As such it aims to inform, connect with an art context, and present the basis for the nature of the work; it is therefore didactic, descriptive, or reflective in nature.
