| Description: |
In constructive colour theory,
the visual phenomena of the
manifest
world are, in themselves, empty:
the significant
thing is feeling, as such.
Paradoxically,
we see the
leading centralism
symbolising
the inner ego
curve back and forth,
suggesting
unreliability.
It is important to understand that the
major feature of stereometric construction
is that it encourages the viewer
to understand the composition in terms of
area,
rather than mass.
In this work Sol Aris
demonstrates clearly
the relationship between
salt and pepper.
``What does it all mean? I have little idea... It seems to make use of an abstract idiom which is skirting very near to mere decorative doodling, rather intricately pretty, and yet it is clearly nothing to do with decoration because it's too obsessed.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.232] |
