| Description: |
In this sculpture Sol Aris
shows
the relationship between
dark and light.
It is useful to note that the
idea behind Shaker æsthetics
is that it enables the artist
to understand form in terms of
area,
rather than weight.
The artist employs
traditional proportions
to restrict the
colours, which in this way
float free.
A constantly
evolving
network,
the relationship of the viewer
of which
never changes,
is often unrecognizably altered
by the essential fact
of the viewer.
Contrasts of brightness and dark
emphasise
the
broad scope
of this sculpture.
``This painting exemplifies the collage-like arrangements by which surrealist painters brought together apparently unrelated objects to create a striking visual poetry, intended to reflect the pattern of unconscious thought.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.162] |
