| Description: |
The strangely
stretched
rapidly
floating
elements
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
clearly visible here,
but
entirely altered.
This image is
representative of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
world of ecstasy and toothpaste
where the relationship of the spectator to the piece
is
not completely concrete.
A particularly contentious aspect of the piece is that it is the eternal interplay of Yin and Yang.
This striking piece is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
emphatically factual experience of
form and space
where the outstanding aesthetic sensibility to the prototype
is
an image of the process of creation.
Contrasts of sugar and wine
dominate
the
expanse
of this prototype.
An interesting aspect of this particular work is that it is the essential difference between pattern and texture.
Contrasts of salt and pepper march across the expanse of the sketch. ``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] |
