MODERATORS
Would it make sense to add a community rule to include a description in the post of why the submitter thought the image was interesting enough to post? I like your comment here, it gives enough context to explore more about the art and artist.
As per rule 7, any additional context you want to convey about the art you're posting can be done in the body of the post or in the comments. What you're asking for is already allowed and encouraged.
On the other hand If you're asking to make it mandatory that every artwork posted here is accompanied by a description, i think that would make things more complicated than they need to be.
