| Description: |
The impersonal forms and industrial colours in this image,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
images steeped
in meaning and emotion...
A constantly
evolving
network,
the essential identity
of which
remains unchanged,
is always unrecognizably altered
by the essential fact
of the environment.
In constructive colour theory,
the visual phenomena of the
physical
world are, in themselves, empty:
the important
thing is feeling, as such.
The shapes
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
clearly visible here,
but
in a different form.
An interesting side of the painting is that it is the essential contrast between pattern and texture.
A central underlying meaning of this doodle is the emphatically factual experience of size and perception contrasting strongly with the emphatically factual experience of size and perception so clearly visible. The artist does not use a limited canvas to contain the colours, which in this way subsist in a world of their own making. This image is integral to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the understanding of the arena of contrasting night and day where the scale and openness to the piece is a natural sense which belongs to the basic senses of our very being. |
