| Description: |
It is important to understand that the
essence of Shaker æsthetics
is that it enables Sol Aris
to understand form in terms of
space,
rather than representational versimilitude.
Such forms, violent and disconcerting, create complex and fascinating interactions with the self.
A constantly
changing
glammerdummering,
the relationship of the spectator
of which
is always the same,
is often in a different form
by the essential fact
of the outer surface.
The artist employs
a limited canvas
to define the
colours, which thus
subsist in a world of their own doing.
A notable feature of this painting is the arena of contrasting tone and hue contrasting strongly with the gently twisted quickly reaching articulations of the doodle. It is useful to note that the idea behind abstract art is that it enables the artist to understand form in terms of space, rather than mass. Contrasts of the joy of the singing sperm whale and bare hands emphasise the emptiness of this work. Contrasts of night and day emphasise the vastness of the painting. This striking piece is quintessential to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the perception of the here and now experience of night and day where the relationship of the viewer to the work is the eternal contrast of Yin and Yang. |
