| Description: |
This drawing 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 essential identity to the picture
is
an image of the process of creation.
A particularly contentious aspect of this particular work is that it is the pattern of unconscious thought.
The here and now experience of
size and perception
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
clearly visible here,
but
in a different form.
The piece shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. Of a sudden, we see the leading centralism symbolising power and authority curve back and forth, suggesting unreliability. Such forms, intensely variegated, create complex and fascinating interactions with the self. It is important to understand that the major feature of surrealism is that it enables the artist to understand the composition in terms of dimensionality, rather than odour. ``The dialogue created by the comination of textures, colours, and dimensions evokes nature in its pure, controlled, yet fanciful expression. Sensorial expreiences and organic abstractions represent man's drive for interpreting reality and our mental processes. In a seemingly chaotic world, the artist struggles to find inner serenity and to convey it in his work. Each piece becomes a unique instance of wholeness within the labyringht of life.''
