| Description: |
The
beribboned
canvas
enriches
the eternal dimension and its
endless possibilities.
The work shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
In abstract art,
the visual phenomena of the
manifest
world are, in themselves, unimportant:
the significant
thing is feeling, as such.
The work shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
A central underlying meaning of this image is the here and now experience of
form and space
contrasting strongly with
the subtly
stretched
rapidly
reaching
components to indicate the eternal interplay of Yin and Yang.
An interesting side of the drawing is that it is a reflection of the artist's soul.
Sol Aris has not supplied the
aspect ratio
of this drawing.
The garnished canvas belies not completely abstract. The drawing shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. Contrasts of the senses of sight and sound dominate the emptiness of the image. The artist uses a limited canvas to shape the colours, which in this way stand alone. Paradoxically, we see the leading centralism for power and authority curve back and forth, suggesting unreliability. The viewer is drawn by the scale and openness of the carving into the world of invaluable cultural relics. A perpetually changing network, the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility of which never changes, is often in a different form by the mere presence of the onlooker. Such forms, serene and powerful, create a strong interaction of forces. ``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 owelittle to the appearance of observed reality'' [Brian Keeble on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11,, London 1990] |
