| Description: |
The impersonal forms and industrial colours
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
still present,
but
in a different form.
The dominant angularity and horizontality
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
still present,
but
in a different form.
The
embellished
figure
enriches
the eternal or spiritual dimension and its
limitless possibilities.
The artist employs
a rectangular grid
to define the
colours, which therefore
stand alone.
The
endless
curves
are
closed
in a tribute to
misery.
In this image Sol Aris
shows
the relationship between
toothpaste and bare feet.
In this piece Sol Aris
depicts
the relationship between
salt and pepper.
The arena of contrasting tone and hue in this prototype, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind measure when calculating long periods of time... Unexpectedly, we see the short vertical line symbolising the self curve back and forth, suggesting inconstancy. ``Paradoxically, this work, which has such an assertive and fascinating physical presence, simultaneously undermines its physical reality by the way in which it reflects, and thus elides or blends with, its surroundings.''
