The

curves
are
forever engraved
in a homage to
celebration.
The
endless
curves
are
forever engraved
in a homage to
abstract art.
The artist uses
a rectangular grid
to contain the
colours, which therefore
float free.
It is useful to note that the
major feature of neo-impressionism
is that it enables the artist
to define the composition in terms of
dimensionality,
rather than mass.
The image shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
``The problems dealt with in abstract art relate to the interplay of forces; the geometrical forms often used by abstract artists do not indicate (as has been thought) a conscious and intellectual, mathematical approach -- a square and a circle in art are nothing in themselves and are alive only in the instinctive and ispirational use an artist can make of them in expressing a poetic idea'' [Ben Nicholsen, Notes on Abstract Art, 1942] |
