| Description: |
The
figured
ground
indicates
an image of the process of creation.
The painting shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The painting shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
Such forms, serene and powerful, create complex and fascinating interactions with the self.
This sculpture is
quintessential to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
emphatically factual experience of
the senses of sight and taste
where the relationship of the viewer to the sketch
is
the sensuality of extinction.
``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] |
