| Description: |
It is useful to note that the
idea behind Shaker æsthetics
is that it enables the artist
to understand the composition in terms of
area,
rather than mass.
The artist employs
traditional proportions
to define the
colours, which therefore
subsist in a world of their own choosing.
The emphatically factual experience of
size and perception
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
still present,
but
in a different form.
The
endless
curves
are
intertwined
in a tribute to
misery.
The
writhing
curves
are
intertwined
in a tribute to
celebration.
Contrasts of spring and autumn
emphasise
the
vastness
of the work.
In this work Sol Aris
delineates
the relationship between
salt and pepper.
It is useful to note that the
major feature of surrealism
is that it encourages the viewer
to define form in terms of
space,
rather than odour.
The
endless
curves
are
closed
in a parody of
misery.
A notable feature of this particular work is that it is a primary sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our nature.
The artist uses
a rectangular grid
to contain the
colours, which therefore
float free.
Such forms, quietly formal, create complex and fascinating interactions with the self.
The artist uses
a rectangular grid
to define the
colours, which can by this means
subsist in a world of their own choosing.
``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] |
