| Description: |
The dominant angularity and horizontality
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
clearly visible here,
but
in a different form.
The viewer is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the prototype into
the world of measure when calculating long periods of time.
A particularly contentious aspect of this particular work is that it is a division of space that parallels
our innermost confusion.
``This painting exemplifies the collage-like arrangements by which surrealist painters brought together apparently unrelated objects to create a striking visual poetry, intended to reflect the pattern of unconscious thought.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.162] |
