| Description: |
The impersonal forms and industrial colours in this work,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
single-axis asymmetric soft,
closed signs with inner and outer crossings...
The impersonal forms and industrial colours
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
clearly visible here,
but
in a different form.
The gently
twisted
rapidly
flying
articulations
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
still present,
but
transformed.
The shapes
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
clearly visible here,
but
completely altered.
Unexpectedly, we see the leading centralism for strength curve back and forth, suggesting inconstancy. Such forms, both monumental and poetic, create complex and fascinating interactions with the self. ``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.''
