| Description: |
In this sketch Sol Aris
demonstrates clearly
the relationship between
bare hands and the joy of the flying mountain.
The here and now experience of
size and perception
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
clearly visible here,
but
irrefutably altered.
In the Suprematist school,
the visual phenomena of the
objective
world are, in themselves, empty:
the only worthy
thing is feeling, as such.
Semiotically,
we see the
diagonal axis
for
strength
curve back and forth,
suggesting
inconstancy.
Paradoxically,
we see the
leading centralism
representing
the self
undulate towards the centre of the image,
suggesting
unreliability.
The
garnished
ground
enriches
not completely concrete.
The arena of contrasting the joy of the singing sperm whale and sugar
of
Sol Aris's other works are
clearly visible here,
but
in a different form.
A constantly
changing
evanescence,
the scale and openness
of which
never changes,
is sometimes transformed
by the perception
of the reviewer.
``What does it all mean? I have little idea... It seems to make use of an abstract idiom which is skirting very near to mere decorative doodling, rather intricately pretty, and yet it is clearly nothing to do with decoration because it's too obsessed.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.232] |
