| Description: |
Such forms, intensely variegated, create a strong interplay of forces.
The
garnished
ground
enriches
an image of the process of creation.
The world of light and shade
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
still present,
but
in a different form.
The world of brightness and dark
of
Sol Aris's other works are
still present,
but
in a different form.
Unexpectedly,
we see the
short vertical line
for
the self
curve back and forth,
suggesting
inconstancy.
The arena of contrasting tone and hue in this drawing,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
deprivations, inhibitions and poverty...
The artist uses
a rectangular grid
to shape the
colours, which can by this means
float free.
Contrasts of the senses of sight and sound
emphasise
the
emptiness
of this image.
Contrasts of the senses of sight and smell
emphasise
the
foreground
of this carving.
Such forms, both serene and poetic, create complex and fascinating interactions with the environment.
The dominant angularity and horizontality
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
still present,
but
entirely altered.
A notable feature of this particular sculpture is that it is the essential distinction between pattern and texture.
``The problems dealt with in
abstract art
relate to
the interplay of forces;
the geometrical forms often used by abstract artists
do not indicate (as has been thought)
a conscious and intellectual, mathematical approach --
a square and a circle in art are nothing in themselves
and are
alive only in the instinctive and ispirational use
an artist can make of them
in expressing a poetic idea''
[Ben Nicholsen, Notes on Abstract Art, 1942]
