| Description: |
This striking piece is
representative of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
dominant angularity and horizontality
where the essential identity to the piece
is
in some sense
positive
rather than simply one of passive comprehension.
It is useful to note that the
idea behind surrealism
is that it enables the artist
to understand the composition in terms of
dimensionality,
rather than representational versimilitude.
The
endless
curves
are
intertwined
in a tribute to
celebration.
``This art, facing forwards and inwards, is of images of expectation and spiritual progress that are freighted with no historical context at all and which owelittle to the appearance of observed reality'' [Brian Keeble on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11,, London 1990] |
