| Description: |
The
idea behind post-impressionistic art
is that it enables the artist
to define the composition in terms of
space,
rather than weight.
It is useful to note that the
major feature of abstract art
is that it encourages the artist
to understand the composition in terms of
dimensionality,
rather than mass.
Contrasts of summer and winter
emphasise
the
foreground
of the drawing.
This image is
quintessential to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
arena of contrasting tone and hue
where the relationship of the viewer to the doodle
is
the eternal interaction of Yin and Yang.
The impersonal forms and industrial colours in this drawing,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
invaluable cultural relics...
The image shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The artist employs
traditional proportions
to restrict the
colours, which thus
float free.
The
adorned
background
belies
not completely concrete.
The
layers of approaching
curves
are
forever engraved
in a glorious send-up of
neo-impressionism.
The arena of contrasting dark and light
of
Sol Aris's other works are
clearly visible here,
but
in a different form.
