| Description: |
This image is
integral to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
emphatically factual experience of
size and perception
where the outstanding aesthetic sensibility to the piece
is
not completely abstract.
In surrealism,
the visual phenomena of the
objective
world are, in themselves, meaningless:
the important
thing is feeling, as such.
The artist uses
a limited canvas
to restrict the
colours, which can by this means
subsist in a world of their own doing.
The strongly twisted rapidly reaching articulations of Sol Aris's previous works are clearly visible here, but in a different form. ``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 owe little to the appearance of observed reality.'' [Brian Keeble, on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11, London, 1990, p.114] |
