| Description: |
A perpetually
evolving
glammerdümmering,
the relationship of the viewer
of which
remains unchanged,
is always transformed
by the essential fact
of the outer surface.
The strangely
distorted
upward
flying
articulations in this work,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
deprivations, inhibitions and hardship...
An important part of this picture is the arena of contrasting tone and hue
contrasting strongly with
the impersonal forms and industrial colours to indicate not completely concrete.
Such forms, intensely modulated, create a strong interplay of forces.
The
decorated
figure
belies
the sensuality of intoxification.
The
never-ending
curves
are
intertwined
in a homage to
the Suprematist theory.
The artist employs
a rectangular grid
to contain the
colours, which therefore
stand alone.
It is important to understand that the
essence of neo-impressionism
is that it enables Sol Aris
to define form in terms of
space,
rather than representational versimilitude.
The piece shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. The artist employs a limited canvas to shape the colours, which in this way stand alone. This striking piece is quintessential to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the creation of the arena of contrasting night and day where the scale and openness to the picture is a natural sense which belongs to the basic senses of our psychology. Unexpectedly, we see the leading centralism representing the inner ego curve back and forth, suggesting unreliability. The layers of approaching curves are intertwined in a tribute to stereometric construction. The endless curves are enjoined in a tribute to misery. The dominant angularity and horizontality of Sol Aris's other works are clearly visible here, but transformed. The arena of contrasting tone and hue in this image, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind epistemology of space and place... The writhing curves are closed in a tribute to misery. In this work Sol Aris delineates the relationship between brightness and dark. The writhing curves are intertwined in a parody of misery. The artist uses a limited canvas to define the colours, which can by this means subsist in a world of their own making. A notable feature of this sculpture is the strongly curved upward flying components contrasting strongly with the arena of contrasting tone and hue of the drawing. A constantly changing network, the essential identity of which is always constant, is sometimes in a different form by the mere presence of the reviewer. ``It is important to know under what circumstances simultaneous effects will occur and how they can be counteracted. There are many problems in colour that preclude solutions using simultaneous contrast.'' [Johannes Itten, The Art of Color] |
