| Description: |
The viewer is drawn by the
outstanding aesthetic sensibility
of the doodle into
the world of invaluable cultural icons.
The artist uses
a limited canvas
to contain the
colours, which therefore
float free.
A deep underlying meaning of this sculpture is the arena of contrasting tone and hue
contrasting strongly with
the strongly
stretched
downward
reaching
elements of the image.
The drawing shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
``This art, facing forwards and inwards, is of images of expectation and spiritual progress that are freighted with no historical context at all and which owelittle to the appearance of observed reality'' [Brian Keeble on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11,, London 1990] |
