| Description: |
The shapes
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
clearly visible here,
but
transformed.
The
layers of approaching
curves
are
forever engraved
in a parody of
the Suprematist works.
Unexpectedly,
we see the
short vertical line
representing
the self
undulate towards the centre of the painting,
suggesting
unreliability.
Sol Aris has not completed the
aspect ratio
of this work.
``What does it all mean? I have little idea... It seems to make use of an abstract idiom which is skirting very near to mere decorative doodling, rather intricately pretty, and yet it is clearly nothing to do with decoration because it's too obsessed.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.232] |
