| Description: |
The spectator is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the image into
the world of invaluable cultural icons.
This image is
quintessential to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
impersonal forms and industrial colours
where the outstanding aesthetic sensibility to the painting
is
not completely abstract.
The artist avoids
a limited canvas
to restrict the
colours, which can by this means
float free.
``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] |
