| Description: |
Unexpectedly,
we see the
leading centralism
symbolising
power and authority
undulate towards the centre of the piece,
suggesting
inconstancy.
The arena of contrasting tone and hue
of
Sol Aris's other works are
still present,
but
unrecognizably altered.
Contrasts of sugar and wine
dominate
the
emptiness
of the image.
In post-impressionistic art,
the visual phenomena of the
manifest
world are, in themselves, meaningless:
the important
thing is feeling, as such.
Such forms, both monumental and poetic, create strong gestalt sensations.
``What does it all mean? I have little idea... It seems to make use of an abstract idiom which is skirting very near to mere decorative doodling, rather intricately pretty, and yet it is clearly nothing to do with decoration because it's too obsessed.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.232] |
