Artist Statement 또는 Artist’s Statement (아티스트 스테이트먼트)란 작품에 대한 이해를 돕기 위해 작가의 영감, 아이디어 및 작품 세계를 서술한 글이다. Artist Statement는 미국의 미술대학 및 미술계를 중심으로 1990년대부터 활발하게 쓰이기 시작했다. Artist Statement는 난해하고 개념적인 현대미술을 접근하기 위한 실용적인 “도구”이다. Artist Statement가 오히려 작품의 감상을 일정한 방향으로 국한할 수 있으며 작가의 자유로운 표현 방식을 저해한다는 비판적인 의견도 있지만, 제한된 2-4 문단의 글로 작가의 세계를 그려내는 한편의 시와도 같다는 점에서 작품 자체와 별개의 또 다른 매력이 있다.
