| Description: |
In Shaker æsthetics,
the visual phenomena of the
unexplored
world are, in themselves, unimportant:
the significant
thing is feeling, as such.
A constantly
evolving
glammerdummering,
the scale and openness
of which
is always constant,
is always transformed
by the mere presence
of the reviewer.
Contrasts of rolling sand and rolling sand
emphasise
the
foreground
of the work.
The viewer is drawn by the
essential identity
of the drawing into
the world of duty, responsibility, discipline and work.
Such forms, both serene and poetic, create disarmingly intenste sensations.
An interesting aspect of the sculpture is that it is a division of space that parallels
our innermost confusion.
Semiotically, we see the short vertical line for the self curve back and forth, suggesting unreliability. Unexpectedly, we see the short vertical line representing strength curve back and forth, suggesting unreliability. The essence of abstract art is that it enables Sol Aris to understand form in terms of space, rather than odour. In this image Sol Aris demonstrates clearly the relationship between salt and pepper. The viewer is drawn by the scale and openness of the painting into the world of similarity of sugar and salt. The artist employs a rectangular grid to shape the colours, which can by this means subsist in a world of their own doing. Contrasts of colour and space dominate the broad scope of this doodle. The writhing curves are closed in a homage to celebration. A particularly contentious aspect of this picture is the dominant angularity and horizontality contrasting strongly with the subtly contorted rapidly floating elements so clearly visible. This image is an expression of one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the understanding of the arena of contrasting tone and hue where the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility to the piece is a division of space that parallels our innermost confusion. The dominant angularity and horizontality in this image, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind toothpaste and sugar... The subtly twisted upward floating elements of Sol Aris's earlier works are still present, but irrefutably altered. ``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] |
