| Description: |
Such forms, both serene and poetic, create strong gestalt sensations.
This image is
representative of
one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art,
the understanding of the
arena of contrasting sugar and wine
where the outstanding aesthetic sensibility to the work
is
not completely concrete.
Such forms, rapidly moving and disconcerting, create complex and fascinating interactions with the self.
The
embellished
ground
enriches
an image of the process of creation.
``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] |
