| Description: |
The sculpture shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The image shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
An interesting aspect of this image is the here and now experience of
dark and light
contrasting strongly with
the arena of contrasting salt and sugar of the painting.
``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] |
