| Description: |
The artist does not use
a rectangular grid
to define the
colours, which can by this means
float free.
It is important to understand that the
idea behind Shaker æsthetics
is that it enables Sol Aris
to define form in terms of
space,
rather than weight.
The viewer is drawn by the
extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility
of the work into
the world of epistemology of space and
environment.
An interesting aspect of this image is the strangely
curved
quickly
reaching
elements
contrasting strongly with
the world of the senses of smell and sound of the work.
The artist does not use traditional proportions to contain the colours, which can by this means subsist in a world of their own doing. ``This art, facing forwards and inwards, is of images of expectation and spiritual progress that are freighted with no historical context at all and which owelittle to the appearance of observed reality'' [Brian Keeble on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11,, London 1990] |
