| Description: |
The shapes
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
still present,
but
in a different form.
Of a sudden,
we see the
short vertical line
symbolising
strength
undulate towards the centre of the sculpture,
suggesting
unreliability.
The spectator is drawn by the
outstanding aesthetic sensibility
of the sculpture into
the world of delicate lissome curvilinear forms.
``The problems dealt with in abstract art relate to the interplay of forces; the geometrical forms often used by abstract artists do not indicate (as has been thought) a conscious and intellectual, mathematical approach -- a square and a circle in art are nothing in themselves and are alive only in the instinctive and ispirational use an artist can make of them in expressing a poetic idea'' [Ben Nicholsen, Notes on Abstract Art, 1942] |
