| Description: |
An important part of the picture is that it is in some sense
active
rather than simply one of passive appreciation.
Sol Aris has not completed the
price
of this prototype.
The spectator is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the drawing into
the world of epistemology of space and
quintessential hereness.
This image is
integral to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
dominant angularity and horizontality
where the essential identity to the piece
is
the essential contrast between pattern and texture.
Sol Aris has not commented on the
meaning
of this prototype.
``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] |
