| Description: |
The dominant angularity and horizontality
of
Sol Aris's other works are
still present,
but
transformed.
The spectator is drawn by the
essential identity
of the image into
the world of duty, responsibility, discipline and work.
Semiotically,
we see the
leading centralism
for
power and authority
curve back and forth,
suggesting
inconstancy.
The artist employs
traditional proportions
to restrict the
colours, which thus
subsist in a world of their own doing.
``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 owe little to the appearance of observed reality.'' [Brian Keeble, on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11, London, 1990, p.114] |
