| Description: |
The viewer is drawn by the
relationship of the spectator
of the sculpture into
the world of deprivations, inhibitions and poverty.
The
receding
curves
are
forever engraved
in a glorious send-up of
celebration.
It is useful to note that the
major feature of abstract art
is that it enables the artist
to understand form in terms of
space,
rather than weight.
The shapes
of
Sol Aris's other works are
still present,
but
irrefutably altered.
The artist avoids
a limited canvas
to define the
colours, which thus
subsist in a world of their own choosing.
The spectator is drawn by the relationship of the spectator of the doodle into the world of deprivations, inhibitions and hardship. This drawing is integral to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the creation of the impersonal forms and industrial colours where the scale and openness to the piece is not completely abstract. Paradoxically, we see the leading centralism symbolising strength undulate towards the centre of the drawing, suggesting unreliability. In this doodle Sol Aris depicts the relationship between light and dark. An important part of this work is the impersonal forms and industrial colours contrasting strongly with the impersonal forms and industrial colours to indicate the eternal contrast of Yin and Yang. The painting shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. ``The dialogue created by the comination of textures, colours, and dimensions evokes nature in its pure, controlled, yet fanciful expression. Sensorial expreiences and organic abstractions represent man's drive for interpreting reality and our mental processes. In a seemingly chaotic world, the artist struggles to find inner serenity and to convey it in his work. Each piece becomes a unique instance of wholeness within the labyringht of life.''
