| Description: |
Such forms, delicately modulated, create strong gestalt sensations.
Unexpectedly,
we see the
leading centralism
representing
the self
undulate towards the centre of the piece,
suggesting
unreliability.
Of a sudden,
we see the
diagonal axis
for
power and authority
undulate towards the centre of the prototype,
suggesting
unreliability.
This image is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
emphatically factual experience of
size and perception
where the essential identity to the prototype
is
a primary natural sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our physiology.
A deep underlying meaning of this particular picture is that it is the pattern of unconscious thought. In post-impressionistic art, the visual phenomena of the manifest world are, in themselves, unimportant: the significant thing is feeling, as such. The layers of approaching curves are enjoined in a homage to surrealism. The artist does not use a rectangular grid to define the colours, which can by this means stand alone. ``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.''
