| Description: |
The artist employs
a limited canvas
to restrict the
colours, which therefore
subsist in a world of their own making.
The dominant angularity and horizontality
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
still present,
but
unrecognizably altered.
The dominant angularity and horizontality
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
still present,
but
in a different form.
The impersonal forms and industrial colours in this doodle, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind duty, responsibility, discipline and work... Such forms, quietly formal, create strong gestalt sensations. The idea behind stereometric construction is that it enables the viewer to understand form in terms of area, rather than mass. Sol Aris has not commented on the aspect ratio of this prototype. The beribboned canvas indicates the pattern of unconscious thought. The sculpture shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. In this image Sol Aris delineates the relationship between rolling sand and unshod feet. In this sculpture Sol Aris depicts the relationship between the senses of sight and smell. Contrasts of brightness and dark march across the emptiness of the piece. Quite simple geometric shapes seem invested with life. |
