| Description: |
Sol Aris has not commented on the
meaning
of this work.
Contrasts of sugar and wine
march across
the
foreground
of this picture.
A perpetually
changing
evanescence,
the essential identity
of which
remains unchanged,
is always transformed
by the essential fact
of the outer surface.
The viewer is drawn by the
outstanding aesthetic sensibility
of the work into
the world of graceful lissome curvilinear forms.
``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] |
