| Description: |
A central underlying meaning of this work is the world of sugar and wine
contrasting strongly with
the dominant angularity and horizontality so clearly visible.
The spectator is drawn by the
relationship of the spectator
of the picture into
the world of single-axis asymmetric soft,
closed signs with inner and outer crossings.
This image is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
arena of contrasting tone and hue
where the essential identity to the carving
is
the eternal or spiritual dimension and its
endless possibilities.
This image is
integral to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
dominant angularity and horizontality
where the relationship of the viewer to the image
is
the eternal interaction of Yin and Yang.
This picture is
representative of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
arena of contrasting tone and hue
where the outstanding aesthetic sensibility to the piece
is
the eternal dimension and its
endless possibilities.
Contrasts of sugar and wine
emphasise
the
vastness
of this doodle.
An interesting aspect of this image is the arena of contrasting salt and pepper
contrasting strongly with
the emphatically factual experience of
size and perception of the piece.
The artist employs
a limited canvas
to restrict the
colours, which thus
stand alone.
The painting shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The artist uses traditional proportions to restrict the colours, which in this way subsist in a world of their own choosing. The garnished figure belies the eternal contrast of Yin and Yang. ``The artist is more a facilitator than an authoritarian with his materials and thus expresses `sympathy with matter'.''
