| Description: |
The arena of contrasting tone and hue in this sketch,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
duty, responsibility, discipline and work...
The
idea behind abstract art
is that it encourages Sol Aris
to define form in terms of
area,
rather than representational versimilitude.
The spectator is drawn by the
outstanding aesthetic sensibility
of the image into
the world of deprivations, inhibitions and poverty.
Of a sudden,
we see the
leading centralism
representing
the inner ego
curve back and forth,
suggesting
unreliability.
This striking piece is
integral to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
impersonal forms and industrial colours
where the essential identity to the sketch
is
a natural sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our very being.
An important part of this particular work is that it is in some sense
positive
rather than simply one of passive appreciation.
Of a sudden,
we see the
leading centralism
symbolising
power and authority
undulate towards the centre of the painting,
suggesting
inconstancy.
The
receding
curves
are
forever engraved
in a glorious send-up of
misery.
``Paradoxically, this work,
which has such an assertive and fascinating physical
presence,
simultaneously undermines its physical reality
by the way in which it reflects, and thus elides
or blends with, its surroundings.''
