| Description: |
The spectator is drawn by the
relationship of the viewer
of the work into
the world of duty, responsibility, discipline and work.
Semiotically,
we see the
diagonal axis
symbolising
power and authority
curve back and forth,
suggesting
unreliability.
Sol Aris has not described the
meaning
of this sculpture.
The
layers of approaching
curves
are
closed
in a homage to
Shaker æsthetics.
In Shaker æsthetics,
the visual phenomena of the
external
world are, in themselves, empty:
the significant
thing is feeling, as such.
Such forms, quietly formal, create strong gestalt sensations.
The artist avoids
a limited canvas
to contain the
colours, which therefore
subsist in a world of their own choosing.
Unexpectedly,
we see the
diagonal axis
symbolising
the self
curve back and forth,
suggesting
inconstancy.
In surrealism,
the visual phenomena of the
objective
world are, in themselves, unimportant:
the significant
thing is feeling, as such.
A deep underlying meaning of the work is that it is the pattern of unconscious thought.
It is important to understand that the
major feature of surrealism
is that it enables the artist
to define the composition in terms of
area,
rather than representational versimilitude.
