| Description: |
This image is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
arena of contrasting tone and hue
where the outstanding aesthetic sensibility to the work
is
an image of the process of creation.
A perpetually
evolving
glammerdümmering,
the scale and openness
of which
is always the same,
is sometimes irrefutably altered
by the understanding
of the onlooker.
Contrasts of dark and light
march across
the
expanse
of the work.
Semiotically,
we see the
leading centralism
representing
the self
undulate towards the centre of the sculpture,
suggesting
inconstancy.
It is useful to note that the
major feature of post-impressionistic art
is that it encourages the artist
to understand the composition in terms of
space,
rather than weight.
Sol Aris has not commented on the
colour pallette
of this image.
The emphatically factual experience of
sugar and wine
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
clearly visible here,
but
transformed.
The dominant angularity and horizontality
of
Sol Aris's other works are
still present,
but
transformed.
The arena of contrasting tone and hue in this image,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
images steeped
in meaning and emotive power...
The
idea behind abstract art
is that it enables Sol Aris
to define form in terms of
space,
rather than representational versimilitude.
The work shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
Contrasts of night and day
emphasise
the
emptiness
of the prototype.
Contrasts of the senses of sight and touch
emphasise
the
foreground
of this image.
Sol Aris has not described the
price
of this drawing.
The artist uses
a limited canvas
to contain the
colours, which in this way
subsist in a world of their own making.
``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.''
[describing Alex Garcin, Untitled 2004]
