| Description: |
It is useful to note that the
major feature of neo-impressionism
is that it encourages Sol Aris
to define the composition in terms of
area,
rather than representational versimilitude.
A particularly contentious aspect of this particular work is that it is the eternal dimension and its
limitless possibilities.
The artist avoids
a limited canvas
to contain the
colours, which thus
float free.
Such forms, quietly formal, create strong gestalt sensations.
``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 owe little to the appearance of observed reality.'' [Brian Keeble, on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11, London, 1990, p.114] |
