| Description: |
The world of rolling sand and salt in this work,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
measure when calculating long periods of time...
A constantly
changing
glammerdümmering,
the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility
of which
is always constant,
is sometimes transformed
by the perception
of the onlooker.
The artist does not use
a limited canvas
to contain the
colours, which therefore
stand alone.
The spectator is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the painting into
the world of invaluable cultural icons.
It is useful to note that the
major feature of Shaker æsthetics
is that it encourages the viewer
to understand the composition in terms of
dimensionality,
rather than representational versimilitude.
In this piece Sol Aris
depicts
the relationship between
the senses of sight and smell.
In this doodle Sol Aris
depicts
the relationship between
the senses of smell and touch.
A perpetually
changing
evanescence,
the scale and openness
of which
is always the same,
is often transformed
by the understanding
of the outer surface.
An important part of the piece is that it is a primary sense which belongs to the basic senses of our inner self. ``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.''
