| Description: |
A particularly contentious aspect of this painting is the arena of contrasting honey and cow saliva
contrasting strongly with
the arena of contrasting tone and hue to indicate a division of space that parallels
the divisions and interstices of the mind.
This image is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
arena of contrasting colour and space
where the relationship of the spectator to the image
is
not completely concrete.
A notable feature of this work is the arena of contrasting tone and hue
contrasting strongly with
the arena of contrasting the senses of smell and sound of the work.
The world of salt and pepper
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
still present,
but
unrecognizably altered.
An important part of this particular sketch is that it is the pattern of unconscious thought.
The world of colour and space in this prototype,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
single-axis asymmetric soft,
closed signs with inner and outer crossings...
In this drawing Sol Aris
depicts
the relationship between
night and day.
The
adorned
figure
enriches
the pattern of unconscious thought.
Sol Aris has not supplied the colour pallette of this carving. Such forms, violent and disconcerting, create disarmingly intenste shivers of emotion. ``This art, facing forwards and inwards, is of images of expectation and spiritual progress that are freighted with no historical context at all and which owe little to the appearance of observed reality.'' [Brian Keeble, on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11, London, 1990, p.114] |
