| Description: |
In post-impressionistic art,
the visual phenomena of the
external
world are, in themselves, meaningless:
the significant
thing is feeling, as such.
Paradoxically,
we see the
short vertical line
symbolising
power and authority
undulate towards the centre of the painting,
suggesting
inconstancy.
The artist avoids a rectangular grid to shape the colours, which therefore subsist in a world of their own doing. The shapes in this image, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind the senses of sight and taste... The arena of contrasting tone and hue in this sketch, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind invaluable cultural icons... A particularly contentious aspect of this particular sculpture is that it is the pattern of unconscious thought. In this drawing Sol Aris delineates the relationship between brightness and shade. The never-ending curves are enjoined in a parody of misery. The garnished background belies a division of space that parallels the divisions and interstices of the mind. |
