| Description: |
In abstract art,
the visual phenomena of the
external
world are, in themselves, empty:
the only worthy
thing is feeling, as such.
This image is
quintessential to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
impersonal forms and industrial colours
where the relationship of the viewer to the piece
is
the eternal interplay of Yin and Yang.
In this sketch Sol Aris
depicts
the relationship between
dark and light.
``The problems dealt with in abstract art relate to the interplay of forces; the geometrical forms often used by abstract artists do not indicate (as has been thought) a conscious and intellectual, mathematical approach -- a square and a circle in art are nothing in themselves and are alive only in the instinctive and ispirational use an artist can make of them in expressing a poetic idea'' [Ben Nicholsen, Notes on Abstract Art, 1942] |
