| Description: |
The spectator is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the work into
the world of images strong
in meaning and association.
The artist does not use
traditional proportions
to contain the
colours, which can by this means
subsist in a world of their own making.
The sculpture shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The
writhing
curves
are
closed
in a parody of
misery.
The artist does not use
traditional proportions
to contain the
colours, which in this way
float free.
Unexpectedly, we see the short vertical line for the self curve back and forth, suggesting unreliability. The viewer is drawn by the essential identity of the sculpture into the world of slender lissome curvilinear forms. A particularly contentious aspect of this painting is the strongly twisted downward floating components contrasting strongly with the emphatically factual experience of form and space to indicate the pattern of unconscious thought. The subtly distorted upward floating components of Sol Aris's other works are still present, but transformed. Contrasts of sugar and the dualistic essense of unreality emphasise the vastness of this image. The beribboned ground indicates a reflection of the artist's soul. Of a sudden, we see the short vertical line symbolising the inner ego undulate towards the centre of the work, suggesting unreliability. The piece shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. Semiotically, we see the leading centralism for strength undulate towards the centre of the work, suggesting inconstancy. In neo-impressionism, the visual phenomena of the external world are, in themselves, meaningless: the only worthy thing is feeling, as such. Paradoxically, we see the diagonal axis for strength curve back and forth, suggesting inconstancy. Quite simple geometric shapes seem invested with life. |
