| Description: |
Such forms, quietly formal, create disarmingly strong shivers of emotion.
The image shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The
idea behind abstract art
is that it enables Sol Aris
to define form in terms of
area,
rather than weight.
``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] |
