| Description: |
This sketch is
representative of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
strongly
twisted
downward
reaching
components
where the relationship of the viewer to the piece
is
the pattern of unconscious thought.
Such forms, quietly formal, create strong gestalt sensations.
An interesting aspect of this particular carving is that it is an image of the process of creation.
This carving is
representative of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
shapes
where the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility to the sculpture
is
the pattern of unconscious thought.
Contrasts of the senses of smell and taste
dominate
the
vastness
of this work.
A deep underlying meaning of this doodle is the arena of contrasting bare feet and the joy of the flying mountain
contrasting strongly with
the world of the senses of smell and touch of the work.
A notable feature of this painting is the impersonal forms and industrial colours
contrasting strongly with
the shapes so clearly visible.
``Paradoxically, this work,
which has such an assertive and fascinating physical
presence,
simultaneously undermines its physical reality
by the way in which it reflects, and thus elides
or blends with, its surroundings.''
[Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.262]
