Definition:
A body of work is the term used to describe the collection of paintings an artist has done that are typical of their style, approach, or techniques.
An emerging artist would have a relatively small body of work, while an established artist would have a large one.
Galleries and art buyers want an artist to have a body of work to show that they can consistently produce art that is distinctive and of a predictable, suitable quality.
