| Description: |
In this sculpture Sol Aris
shows
the relationship between
dark and light.
A central underlying meaning of this particular sculpture is that it is the eternal interaction of Yin and Yang.
This image is
integral to
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
arena of contrasting sugar and wine
where the relationship of the viewer to the piece
is
not completely concrete.
The image shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
``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] |
