| Description: |
The
never-ending
curves
are
forever engraved
in a tribute to
misery.
Of a sudden,
we see the
diagonal axis
for
the self
undulate towards the centre of the picture,
suggesting
unreliability.
This image is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
arena of contrasting colour and space
where the essential identity to the work
is
in some sense
active
rather than simply one of passive appreciation.
The image shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
Contrasts of beer and unshod feet
march across
the
broad scope
of the carving.
A notable feature of this particular work is that it is a reflection of the artist's soul.
``The dialogue created by
the comination of textures, colours,
and dimensions evokes nature in
its pure, controlled, yet fanciful expression.
Sensorial expreiences and organic abstractions
represent man's drive for interpreting reality
and our mental processes.
In a seemingly chaotic world, the artist
struggles to find inner serenity
and to convey it in his work.
Each piece becomes
a unique instance of
wholeness within the
labyringht of life.''
[describing Alex Garcin, Untitled 2004]
