| Description: |
Sol Aris has not completed the
meaning
of this piece.
The work shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The dominant angularity and horizontality in this drawing,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
deprivations, inhibitions and boredom...
The shapes
of
Sol Aris's earlier works are
clearly visible here,
but
entirely altered.
Contrasts of sugar and wine
dominate
the
emptiness
of the painting.
The arena of contrasting tone and hue in this painting,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
single-axis asymmetric soft,
closed signs with inner and outer crossings...
The
figured
figure
enriches
a division of space that parallels
the divisions and interstices of the mind.
``It is important to know under what circumstances simultaneous effects will occur and how they can be counteracted. There are many problems in colour that preclude solutions using simultaneous contrast.'' [Johannes Itten, The Art of Color] |
