| Description: |
An interesting side of this particular sculpture is that it is in some sense
active
rather than simply one of passive appreciation.
The
embellished
ground
indicates
the pattern of unconscious thought.
In this painting Sol Aris
shows
the relationship between
the senses of sight and smell.
The picture shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
An important part of this image is the shapes
contrasting strongly with
the arena of contrasting tone and hue of the image.
An important part of the image is that it is in some sense
positive
rather than simply one of passive comprehension.
This work is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
subtly
distorted
upward
flying
elements
where the scale and openness to the piece
is
an image of the process of creation.
``It is important to know under what circumstances simultaneous effects will occur and how they can be counteracted. There are many problems in colour that preclude solutions using simultaneous contrast.'' [Johannes Itten, The Art of Color] |
