working on my artist statement

I found a shortcut, so now I don't have to write my artists statement myself! I solved it with the help of the arty bullocks generator.

Should I go for:

My work explores the relationship between gender politics and romance tourism.
With influences as diverse as Caravaggio and Joni Mitchell, new synergies are manufactured from both traditional and modern structures.
Ever since I was a student I have been fascinated by the ephemeral nature of the human condition. What starts out as vision soon becomes corroded into a dialectic of defeat, leaving only a sense of decadence and the possibility of a new beginning. As momentary phenomena become reconfigured through boundaried and personal practice, the viewer is left with an insight into the possibilities of our era.

or 

My work explores the relationship between the body and midlife subcultures.
With influences as diverse as Kafka and Roy Lichtenstein, new insights are crafted from both opaque and transparent textures.
Ever since I was a teenager I have been fascinated by the theoretical limits of the moment. What starts out as contemplation soon becomes manipulated into a cacophony of distress, leaving only a sense of dread and the possibility of a new reality. As shimmering replicas become frozen through frantic and personal practice, the viewer is left with an insight into the inaccuracies of our existence.

writing my artist statement

I've been using the door in my studio for writing down some thoughts for my artists statement.

Today started to rewrite my artist statement. I have one in English and one in Swedish and they both need some improvement. Sometimes everything you write sounds really corny - or very pretentious. I always need some time to get it right - it kind of needs to ripen - so I have set my deadline within a month.

How to write an Artist Statement at the Artist Foundation's website where you can also find some other Art Business related resources under being in the arts. Checking other people's artist statements at for example Axis is also a good help when you write your own statement.
