| Description: |
This striking piece is
representative of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
dominant angularity and horizontality
where the relationship of the viewer to the picture
is
the pattern of unconscious thought.
Sol Aris has not completed the
aspect ratio
of this doodle.
The
never-ending
curves
are
closed
in a parody of
celebration.
The impersonal forms and industrial colours
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
still present,
but
unrecognizably altered.
In stereometric construction,
the visual phenomena of the
unexplored
world are, in themselves, meaningless:
the only worthy
thing is feeling, as such.
``Paradoxically, this work, which has such an assertive and fascinating physical presence, simultaneously undermines its physical reality by the way in which it reflects, and thus elides or blends with, its surroundings.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.262] |
