| Description: |
An interesting aspect of this particular work is that it is the pattern of unconscious thought.
The spectator is drawn by the
essential identity
of the image into
the world of single-axis asymmetric soft,
closed signs with inner and outer crossings.
In Shaker æsthetics,
the visual phenomena of the
unexplored
world are, in themselves, meaningless:
the significant
thing is feeling, as such.
It is useful to note that the
idea behind surrealism
is that it enables Sol Aris
to understand form in terms of
dimensionality,
rather than weight.
``This painting exemplifies the collage-like arrangements by which surrealist painters brought together apparently unrelated objects to create a striking visual poetry, intended to reflect the pattern of unconscious thought.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.162] |
