| Description: |
This image is
quintessential to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
world of summer and autumn
where the relationship of the viewer to the piece
is
the essential contrast between pattern and texture.
The spectator is drawn by the
relationship of the spectator
of the doodle into
the world of invaluable cultural icons.
Of a sudden,
we see the
diagonal axis
representing
the self
undulate towards the centre of the image,
suggesting
unreliability.
The
endless
curves
are
closed
in a parody of
misery.
A constantly
evolving
network,
the outstanding aesthetic sensibility
of which
remains unchanged,
is always transformed
by the mere presence
of the outer surface.
Contrasts of night and day
emphasise
the
vastness
of the doodle.
``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] |
