On artistprofiler.art, all Contemporary Artists can create and complete their own page — a Portrait that sets out their artistic approach.
Who is considered a Contemporary Artist?
An artist is considered contemporary if born after 1931 (artists born before that date being generally associated with a historical art movement), not primarily identified with another professional activity, and meeting at least one of the following criteria:
- Their main activity is the production of works in Contemporary Art
- They have taken part in at least three exhibitions in the past ten years in spaces dedicated to Contemporary Art
- The majority of their income comes from the sale of their artworks.
How are Portraits organised?
Artists' Portraits take the form of pre-filled pages created for artists belonging to one of the three Scenes: International Scene and French Scene, defined by recognition criteria, or Prominence Scene, defined by visibility criteria.
Contemporary artists not yet belonging to a Scene — emerging artists — can create and complete their own page (a self-Portrait).
