I didn't read the description until I saw it here. There were a couple of sheets of paper off to the side at the show, but for the most part the artwork itself commanded my attention. Others in the room were equally delighted. @ Cruxx:

I was thinking I'd missed an opportunity to meet you. It was a terrific show. Very different from the kind of work I'm used to seeing at Denver galleries. Now that I know about the space, I'll be sure to keep an eye out for future openings. It's only a few blocks away from where I live. Ah, too bad! I was thinking I’d missed an opportunity to meet you.

They are so cringe-inducing and generic, I end up liking the work less than before I had read anything about it. Artist’s statements and show descriptions need some sort of revolution in style.
