Are you any good at writing descriptions?

In my last post, featuring the first in my Teal & Magenta Abstract Landscape triptych, I wrote about how difficult I find writing about my artwork. How this is related to Georgia O'Keeffe's quote, that art allows you to communicate what you can’t with words, therefore making putting it into words afterwards very difficult!

I wondered what other people’s experiences are, both as artists and art lovers, how do you find putting into words how you feel about art? How would you describe it?

& if you’re an artist, how do you write your descriptions?

Should writing a description for an artwork online be a different practice than writing an “artist’s statement” about a piece? Or should an artist description simply be factual, an explanation of the artwork or the process?

Should the art collector be the focus of the description? Or should it be aimed at including the appropriate SEO keywords, to be picked up my search engines? Or both?

Or should the art stand alone without words? Art is after all, subjective, we each experience it in our own way. There are common parallels that we draw on but ultimately our experience is individual and unique to us.

I thought I’d write about how I see my Teal and Magenta 2 abstract landscape. How does it differ from your experience?

The colors are what hits me first, the great expanse of teal green and then the smudging hot pink, that becomes fractured, serrated lines, which cross the top left of the work, struggling between linear and nonlinear, like an uncertain pattern.

The main experience for me is the Gestalt experience of the digital painting as a whole, a space filled with pink and teal, in an uncertain and unresolved landscape.

The uncertain lines, and shapes are the source of my working title, "Uncertain Future",


How do you experience the artwork? Any ideas on titles?


What about other art? How do you describe your art or that of others? Do descriptions matter? Or should the individual experience be the most important part?

Let me know if you have any comments!
