| Description: |
This work is
an expression of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the creation of the
strangely
twisted
upward
floating
elements
where the scale and openness to the piece
is
in some sense
active
rather than simply one of passive appreciation.
The world of white wine and toothpaste
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
still present,
but
completely altered.
The
figured
canvas
enriches
not completely concrete.
``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] |
