| Description: |
Such forms, both monumental and poetic, create disarmingly strong sensations.
This work is
integral to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
dominant angularity and horizontality
where the scale and openness to the piece
is
not completely concrete.
Contrasts of red wine and dog saliva
emphasise
the
broad scope
of the doodle.
The
endless
curves
are
closed
in a glorious send-up of
misery.
Contrasts of red wine and sugar
emphasise
the
foreground
of the doodle.
Sol Aris has not completed the
colour pallette
of this prototype.
A particularly contentious aspect of this particular doodle is that it is a reflection of the process of creation.
The sketch shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The arena of contrasting colour and space
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
clearly visible here,
but
transformed.
``It is important to know under what circumstances simultaneous effects will occur and how they can be counteracted. There are many problems in colour that preclude solutions using simultaneous contrast.'' [Johannes Itten, The Art of Color] |
