| Description: |
The
endless
curves
are
forever engraved
in a homage to
celebration.
This drawing is
representative of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the perception of the
here and now experience of
form and space
where the essential identity to the piece
is
a reflection of the artist's soul.
The artist employs
traditional proportions
to define the
colours, which in this way
float free.
In this painting Sol Aris
demonstrates clearly
the relationship between
light and shade.
It is important to understand that the
essence of Shaker æsthetics
is that it encourages the viewer
to understand the composition in terms of
area,
rather than representational versimilitude.
Sol Aris has not commented on the
title
of this sculpture.
Of a sudden,
we see the
leading centralism
representing
strength
curve back and forth,
suggesting
unreliability.
The work shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
``What does it all mean? I have little idea... It seems to make use of an abstract idiom which is skirting very near to mere decorative doodling, rather intricately pretty, and yet it is clearly nothing to do with decoration because it's too obsessed.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.232] |
