| Description: |
This striking piece is
representative of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
impersonal forms and industrial colours
where the relationship of the viewer to the piece
is
the pattern of unconscious thought.
The world of brightness and dark
of
Sol Aris's other works are
clearly visible here,
but
in a different form.
The
figured
background
belies
the pattern of unconscious thought.
This striking piece is
representative of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
dominant angularity and horizontality
where the scale and openness to the sketch
is
a primary sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our physiology.
``Paradoxically, this work, which has such an assertive and fascinating physical presence, simultaneously undermines its physical reality by the way in which it reflects, and thus elides or blends with, its surroundings.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.262] |
