Painters Tip
A Body of Work
You may hear the term , Body Of Work, but not really know what it means.
A body of work is a collection of art with three characteristics:
Consistent theme
Consistent technique
Quantity
A consistent theme and consistent technique define the artist’s visual style and creates an identifiable look to their work. It is the stamp of an artist's hand. Their brushwork, palette, etc. It makes their work instantly recognizable.
A quantity of 10-25 paintings shows the artist’s dedication to artistic exploration. It’s also often the minimum quantity that galleries request from artists. An artist may have many bodies of work over the span of their career.
The most frequent problems regarding a body of work are:
an artist not having a body of work that fully explores a theme/technique or
an artist who blends several bodies of work together not making a clear statement.
A well defined body of work is what most serious collectors are looking for and most galleries too.
