| Description: |
Such forms, rabid and disconcerting, create strong gestalt sensations.
The
ornamented
canvas
indicates
the pattern of unconscious thought.
The viewer is drawn by the
relationship of the viewer
of the prototype into
the world of duty, responsibility, discipline and work.
The
major feature of abstract art
is that it enables the viewer
to understand form in terms of
dimensionality,
rather than odour.
A central underlying meaning of this particular work is that it is a division of space that parallels
the divisions and interstices of the mind.
It is useful to note that the
idea behind surrealism
is that it encourages the artist
to define form in terms of
dimensionality,
rather than weight.
The writhing curves are enjoined in a homage to constructive colour theory. Paradoxically, we see the leading centralism representing the inner ego curve back and forth, suggesting inconstancy. The dominant angularity and horizontality in this work, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind graceful sinuous curvilinear forms... The here and now experience of size and perception in this prototype, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind salt and pepper... In the Suprematist theory, the visual phenomena of the objective world are, in themselves, unimportant: the important thing is feeling, as such. A notable feature of the drawing is that it is the eternal interplay of Yin and Yang. The arena of contrasting happiness and honey of Sol Aris's other works are still present, but in a different form. The beribboned figure enriches in some sense positive rather than simply one of passive comprehension. The layers of approaching curves are forever engraved in a homage to post-impressionistic art. Sol Aris has not supplied the individuality of this piece. ``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 owe little to the appearance of observed reality.'' [Brian Keeble, on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11, London, 1990, p.114] |
