Writing about art

Published by Maurice van Cooten, posted 9 January 2011

Much thought is behind the creation of art. I’ve often felt limited in being able to share the conceptual aspect of a body of work that is also much about feeling. It’s not always possible to stand with my pieces at an exhibition and give everyone an explanation.

Though the about section on this website suggests my inspiration and techniques. There’s more to be said about each work, subject, materials, context, inspiration, etc. I’d like for these future posts to give viewers better understanding of the art I make.
