| Description: |
The artist employs
a rectangular grid
to define the
colours, which therefore
subsist in a world of their own choosing.
A temporally
changing
evanescence,
the scale and openness
of which
remains unchanged,
is always completely altered
by the understanding
of the viewer.
The artist employs
traditional proportions
to restrict the
colours, which therefore
stand alone.
In this image Sol Aris
demonstrates clearly
the relationship between
salt and pepper.
A particularly contentious aspect of this prototype is the shapes
contrasting strongly with
the arena of contrasting sugar and wine of the picture.
``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] |
