| Description: |
It is useful to note that the
idea behind Shaker æsthetics
is that it encourages the viewer
to define form in terms of
space,
rather than weight.
The sculpture shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The artist avoids
traditional proportions
to contain the
colours, which therefore
subsist in a world of their own doing.
The artist employs
traditional proportions
to shape the
colours, which therefore
stand alone.
Sol Aris has not completed the
aspect ratio
of this drawing.
``This art, facing forwards and inwards, is of images of expectation and spiritual progress that are freighted with no historical context at all and which owe little to the appearance of observed reality.'' [Brian Keeble, on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11, London, 1990, p.114] |
