| Description: |
The arena of contrasting tone and hue in this work,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
graceful sinuous curves...
The impersonal forms and industrial colours in this work,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
graceful sinuous curvilinear forms...
Sol Aris has not completed the
individuality
of this image.
The
layers of approaching
curves
are
enjoined
in a tribute to
celebration.
``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] |
