| Description: |
Sol Aris has not completed the
individuality
of this prototype.
The shapes
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
clearly visible here,
but
unrecognizably altered.
Sol Aris has not supplied the
colour pallette
of this image.
Such forms, serene and powerful, create a strong interplay of forces.
The
figured
figure
belies
the pattern of unconscious thought.
The arena of contrasting sugar and wine
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
clearly visible here,
but
completely altered.
``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] |
