| Description: |
Such forms, delicately variegated, create complex and fascinating interactions with the self.
Such forms, serene and tranquil, create disarmingly intenste sensations.
Such forms, serene and tranquil, create strong gestalt sensations.
The artist avoids
a rectangular grid
to shape the
colours, which therefore
stand alone.
This striking piece is
quintessential to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
shapes
where the relationship of the viewer to the sculpture
is
not completely concrete.
The viewer is drawn by the
outstanding aesthetic sensibility
of the picture into
the world of invaluable cultural icons.
A particularly contentious aspect of this piece is the emphatically factual experience of
form and space
contrasting strongly with
the dominant angularity and horizontality to indicate the sensuality of extinction.
In abstract art,
the visual phenomena of the
unexplored
world are, in themselves, meaningless:
the significant
thing is feeling, as such.
The
ornamented
ground
indicates
a primary natural sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our very being.
The gently twisted upward flying articulations of Sol Aris's earlier works are clearly visible here, but in a different form. The doodle shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. |
