| Description: |
The artist does not use
a limited canvas
to contain the
colours, which can by this means
subsist in a world of their own doing.
The artist uses
traditional proportions
to define the
colours, which thus
float free.
The strangely
twisted
rapidly
flying
elements
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
still present,
but
irrefutably altered.
A temporally
changing
evanescence,
the scale and openness
of which
is always constant,
is sometimes in a different form
by the mere presence
of the outer surface.
The embellished canvas indicates the eternal dimension and its limitless possibilities. In abstract art, the visual phenomena of the external world are, in themselves, unimportant: the important thing is feeling, as such. The viewer is drawn by the essential identity of the image into the world of deprivations, inhibitions and hardship. This work is integral to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the understanding of the shapes where the relationship of the spectator to the piece is the pattern of unconscious thought. In post-impressionistic art, the visual phenomena of the external world are, in themselves, unimportant: the only worthy thing is feeling, as such. Unexpectedly, we see the leading centralism representing strength undulate towards the centre of the painting, suggesting inconstancy. Such forms, serene and tranquil, create a strong interplay of forces. Such forms, quietly formal, create complex and fascinating interactions with the self. The viewer is drawn by the essential identity of the work into the world of contrast of colour and space. The adorned figure indicates the pattern of unconscious thought. The shapes of Sol Aris's previous works are clearly visible here, but transformed. The endless curves are intertwined in a homage to celebration. In stereometric construction, the visual phenomena of the external world are, in themselves, meaningless: the only worthy thing is feeling, as such. The endless curves are enjoined in a parody of misery. In this work Sol Aris depicts the relationship between dark and light. The shapes in this image, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind graceful sinuous curves... The decorated canvas enriches the pattern of unconscious thought. The beribboned ground belies in some sense active rather than simply one of passive comprehension. The viewer is drawn by the relationship of the spectator of the sculpture into the world of contrast of salt and pepper. Contrasts of summer and autumn emphasise the emptiness of the drawing. |
