| Description: |
The image shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The emphatically factual experience of
form and space
of
Sol Aris's other works are
clearly visible here,
but
completely altered.
A deep underlying meaning of this prototype is the shapes
contrasting strongly with
the impersonal forms and industrial colours so clearly visible.
Sol Aris has not supplied the
title
of this work.
This image is quintessential to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the perception of the arena of contrasting summer and winter where the relationship of the spectator to the work is the sensuality of intoxification. Unexpectedly, we see the short vertical line representing power and authority curve back and forth, suggesting inconstancy. The arena of contrasting tone and hue of Sol Aris's previous works are clearly visible here, but unrecognizably altered. The gently contorted rapidly soaring components in this picture, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind similarity of light and shade... It is useful to note that the essence of surrealism is that it enables Sol Aris to define the composition in terms of space, rather than odour. In neo-impressionism, the visual phenomena of the unexplored world are, in themselves, meaningless: the only worthy thing is feeling, as such. The artist does not use traditional proportions to restrict the colours, which therefore stand alone. |
