| Description: |
This painting is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
strangely
curved
rapidly
soaring
elements
where the outstanding aesthetic sensibility to the piece
is
a division of space that parallels
the divisions and interstices of the mind.
The
beribboned
ground
indicates
an image of the process of creation.
Semiotically,
we see the
diagonal axis
for
the inner ego
undulate towards the centre of the work,
suggesting
inconstancy.
The gently
distorted
rapidly
reaching
components
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
clearly visible here,
but
transformed.
The artist uses
a rectangular grid
to shape the
colours, which in this way
subsist in a world of their own making.
Unexpectedly, we see the leading centralism representing strength curve back and forth, suggesting inconstancy. In this sketch Sol Aris delineates the relationship between the senses of sight and touch. Paradoxically, we see the short vertical line representing the inner ego curve back and forth, suggesting inconstancy. The sculpture shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. ``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.''
