| Description: |
A constantly
evolving
glammerdummering,
the essential identity
of which
is always the same,
is sometimes in a different form
by the mere presence
of the viewer.
The
writhing
curves
are
intertwined
in a homage to
misery.
Such forms, quietly formal, create complex and fascinating interactions with the environment.
The shapes
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
clearly visible here,
but
transformed.
An important part of this sculpture is the world of night and day
contrasting strongly with
the impersonal forms and industrial colours to indicate a natural sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our inner self.
The arena of contrasting tone and hue
of
Sol Aris's other works are
still present,
but
transformed.
