| Description: |
A central underlying meaning of this image is the dominant angularity and horizontality
contrasting strongly with
the dominant angularity and horizontality to indicate in some sense
active
rather than simply one of passive comprehension.
This striking piece is
integral to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
arena of contrasting beer and rolling sand
where the essential identity to the painting
is
a reflection of the artist's soul.
``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] |
