| Description: |
An important part of this particular sculpture is that it is the sensuality of intoxification.
The impersonal forms and industrial colours in this sculpture,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
duty, responsibility, discipline and work...
Sol Aris has not commented on the
individuality
of this image.
In this drawing Sol Aris
delineates
the relationship between
dog saliva and pepper.
The viewer is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the sculpture into
the world of similarity of night and day.
The spectator is drawn by the
relationship of the spectator
of the painting into
the world of duty, responsibility, discipline and work.
``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] |
