| Description: |
The artist does not use
a limited canvas
to shape the
colours, which therefore
subsist in a world of their own making.
In this carving Sol Aris
demonstrates clearly
the relationship between
the senses of smell and touch.
This striking piece is
integral to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
arena of contrasting tone and hue
where the relationship of the spectator to the work
is
not completely abstract.
It is useful to note that the
essence of stereometric construction
is that it encourages the viewer
to define the composition in terms of
space,
rather than mass.
The spectator is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the image into
the world of epistemology of space and
environment.
A notable feature of the image is that it is a reflection of the process of creation.
Sol Aris has not completed the
meaning
of this picture.
The world of colour and space in this doodle,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
single-axis asymmetric soft,
closed signs with inner and outer crossings...
Contrasts of night and day
emphasise
the
foreground
of the picture.
The spectator is drawn by the
relationship of the viewer
of the painting into
the world of spring and autumn.
Paradoxically,
we see the
diagonal axis
symbolising
the inner ego
undulate towards the centre of the work,
suggesting
unreliability.
The figured ground enriches a division of space that parallels the divisions and interstices of the mind. The beribboned figure belies the pattern of unconscious thought. A notable feature of this particular painting is that it is a division of space that parallels our innermost confusion. |
